In layman’s terms, Ridge regression adds one more term to linear regression’s cost function to reduce error. Ridge regression is a model-tuning method used to analyze data that suffer from multicollinearity. This method performs L2 regularization. When the issue of multicollinearity occurs, least-squares are unbiased, and variances are large; this results in predicted values being … Read more
