Particular regressors may make assumptions about the distribution of y, or its relationship with the features X. You should be aware of those assumptions and reason about whether they are held well enough. A TransformedTargetRegressor may be used to make your target better match those assumptions,

Hi lampahome, It is a common practice in financial modeling ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_asset_pricing_model). [image: image.png] P_t is price at time t, R_t is "return", which is the variable they are trying to predict. Best, Charles On Wed, Jan 30, 2019 at 5:43 AM lampahome

I found many cases in kaggle to predict the quantity or trends. They all set the real quantity as y. But I have question is that does anyone set the changing ratio as y? Like: X y Day1 0.2 Day2 0.1 Day3 0.15 Day4 -0.1 y is the changing ratio compared with previous day. Why anybody set
