Dr. James McCaffrey presents a complete end-to-end demonstration of decision tree regression from scratch using JavaScript. The goal of decision tree regression is to predict a single numeric value. For simplicity and better maintenance, the demo implementation uses list storage instead of pointers. For better customization and interpretability, the implementation uses list iteration instead of recursion or a stack algorithm.

A hands-on comparison shows how Cursor, Windsurf, and Visual Studio Code approach text-to-website generation differently once they move beyond the basics and begin redesigning and extending their own work. One thing that stood out is that, despite their sophistication, these AI-assisted editors remain a long way from agentic AI.

Dr. James McCaffrey presents a complete end-to-end demonstration of the kernel ridge regression technique to predict a single numeric value, implemented using JavaScript. The demo trains the model using kernel matrix inverse (Cholesky decomposition). There is no single best machine learning regression technique, but when kernel ridge regression prediction works, it is often highly accurate.

Dr. James McCaffrey presents a complete end-to-end demonstration of linear regression with two-way interactions between predictor variables. Standard linear regression predicts a single numeric value based only on a linear combination of predictor values. Linear regression with interactions between predictor variables can handle more complex data while retaining a high level of model interpretability.
