I am currently working on a project which deals with demand forecasting and machine learning on Hadoop. I came across Mahout when researching for this. >From the various tutorials and 'Mahout in Action' book, I came to understand that classification algorithms on Mahout though allow the use of continuous predictor variables, needs the target variables to be categorical. Is it possible to apply these classification algorithms for predicting the values of continuous variables, essentially like demand? If so, how?
