This document discusses predicting stock prices of Amazon (AMZN) stock using machine learning algorithms. It evaluates KNN, SVR, elastic net, and linear regression algorithms and finds that linear regression has the highest accuracy based on precision, recall, and F1 score metrics. The document provides details on each algorithm and compares their performance on this stock price prediction task. Linear regression builds a linear model to predict the dependent variable (stock price) based on independent variables and is shown to outperform the other supervised learning algorithms for this specific prediction problem.
