Classification

Spark In Action

a classification problem because target variables are categorical (or qualitative), which means they can take on a limited number of values (discrete values) ( Same as Logistic Regression ) In classification algorithms, the target variable is also called a label, class, or category, and the algorithm itself is called a classifier, recognizer, or categorizer. In the case of regression algorithms, the target variable is continuous or quantitative (a real number).

For classification tasks in Spark, you have logistic regression, naïve Bayes, support vector machines (SVM), decision trees, and random forests at your disposal. They all have their pluses and minuses and different logic and theory behind them.
