Regression is the process of learning relationships between inputs and continuous outputs from example data, which enables
predictions for novel inputs. The history of regression is closely related to the history of artificial neural networks since
the seminal work of Rosenblatt (1958). The aims of this paper are to provide an overview of many regression algorithms, and
to demonstrate how the function representation whose parameters they regress fall into two classes: a weighted sum of basis
functions, or a mixture of linear models. Furthermore, we show that the former is a special case of the latter. Our ambition
is thus to provide a deep understanding of the relationship between these algorithms, that, despite being derived from very
different principles, use a function representation that can be captured within one unified model. Finally, step-by-step derivations
of the algorithms from first principles and visualizations of their innerworkings allow this article to be used as a tutorial
for those new to regression.
