📝 Implementation Notes

Design Decisions

Linear Regression: Uses normal equation for simplicity; includes regularization for numerical stability
Logistic Regression: Gradient descent with configurable iterations
PCA: Simplified eigenvalue approach; suitable for moderate dimensionality
Naive Bayes: Gaussian assumption; adds small epsilon for numerical stability
Encoders: Auto-detection of categories when not specified
Layer Norm: Follows PyTorch/Transformer conventions

Numerical Stability

All functions include epsilon terms for division safety
Gaussian elimination uses partial pivoting
Variance calculations use (n-1) degrees of freedom
Default epsilon: 1e-5 to 1e-9 depending on context

Compatibility

All functions work with existing XDL types
Support for both Array and MultiDimArray
Consistent error handling
Standard XDL return conventions
