Hey Gene.
I think it depends on what your loss function will be.
How do you measure performance for continuous outputs?

Cheers,
Andy

Yep, thanks allo. I got the same answer mainly in metaoptimize as well. I will be using that. Thanks!

        Ah when I looked further I see you got some answers here too

            I would think that Logistic Regression[1] could apply
            here.. You can feed it binary labels and then it will act
            as a classifier that will return for each label the
            conditional class probability values .

            See [2] for scikit-learns implementation

            Hope it helps :)

                I have a regression task where I have to assign a
                continous label between 0 and 1, but my training set
                contains only binary labels, 0s and 1s.  Should I
                treat this as a classification problem and map the
                labels to a continous line via some confidence metric
                (if it's available) or is there a regression algorithm
                which can be trained on binary labels?  What
                scikits-learn methods will help me achieve this?  Thanks!

                best,
                gene
