Example — Linear Regression

The DataFrame used for Linear Regression has to have features column of org.apache.spark.mllib.linalg.VectorUDT type.

Note
You can change the name of the column using featuresCol parameter.

The list of the parameters of LinearRegression:

scala> println(lr.explainParams)
elasticNetParam: the ElasticNet mixing parameter, in range [0, 1]. For alpha = 0, the penalty is an L2 penalty. For alpha = 1, it is an L1 penalty (default: 0.0)
featuresCol: features column name (default: features)
fitIntercept: whether to fit an intercept term (default: true)
labelCol: label column name (default: label)
maxIter: maximum number of iterations (>= 0) (default: 100)
predictionCol: prediction column name (default: prediction)
regParam: regularization parameter (>= 0) (default: 0.0)
solver: the solver algorithm for optimization. If this is not set or empty, default value is 'auto' (default: auto)
standardization: whether to standardize the training features before fitting the model (default: true)
tol: the convergence tolerance for iterative algorithms (default: 1.0E-6)
weightCol: weight column name. If this is not set or empty, we treat all instance weights as 1.0 (default: )
Caution
FIXME The following example is work in progress.
import org.apache.spark.ml.Pipeline
val pipeline = new Pipeline("my_pipeline")

import org.apache.spark.ml.regression._
val lr = new LinearRegression

val df = sc.parallelize(0 to 9).toDF("num")
val stages = Array(lr)
val model = pipeline.setStages(stages).fit(df)

// the above lines gives:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: requirement failed: Column features must be of type org.apache.spark.mllib.linalg.VectorUDT@f71b0bce but was actually IntegerType.
