Frank, Sorry I didn't answer your previous email regarding this.
It sounded to me like your application would actually be happier with a form of logistic regression. Perhaps we should talk some more about this on the list. If you want a normal linear regression, the current OnlineLearner interface isn't terribly appropriate since it assumes a 1 of n vector target variable. If you were to extend that interface to accept a vector form of target variable then linear regression would work (and some clever tricks would become possible for logistic regression).
