You're taking the X you're projecting onto the space of ZS, and then you're using this projection as your regressor to stage this squares done in one step.

Examples

  • This could be quite interesting because the columns of a here actually are regressors or features.

  • Descriptions of the regressors can be found in summary in Table 3.

  • Table 10 confirms that our finally fitted model is better than the model without regressors or predictors, as the null hypothesis is rejected based on a significant P-value.

Morphology

regressor = regress (semi-transparent) = regress + or

Formed regularly from the verb 'regress' + '-or', but the technical statistical sense ('predictive model/variable') is specialized and not directly inferable by general learners.

Etymology

Regressor comes from old Latin parts re- 'back' and gress 'step', so it suggests 'going back' through information. That's why a regressor in machine learning is a model or tool that looks at past data to predict a value.
