 | The contents of the Tikhonov regularization page were merged into Ridge regression on 17 October 2022. For the contribution history and old versions of the redirected page, please see its history; for the discussion at that location, see its talk page. |
Merging that way is not advised, they are overlapping methods but in different theoretical frameworks, and the Bayesian is more general. -Anon
Fold into Tikhanov regression?[edit]
Ridge regression is Tikhanov regression. And that areticle is much more detailed. I propose we merge the two articles, basically delete this one and point to the other David (talk) 01:42, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
- Yeah, it definitely should be; this article is also worse than the one on Tikhonov regularization. For instance, this article claims that ridge regression is used to deal with multicollinearity, when in reality there is no need for the variables to be correlated. Ridge regression just regularizes coefficients towards 0 to improve out-of-sample performance. Closed Limelike Curves (talk) 00:49, 15 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Explain the name[edit]
The article left me confused about the name of the regression. Was the name originally 'RIDGE' and was thus originally an abbreviation? Did it later change to 'Ridge', maybe due to the abbreviation being clumsy in hindsight? Or is this referring to something within the mathematical method?
