Context: `class_list.py` parses the C++ code to extract all class names used in the shogun codebase. We use this in factories to allow creating instances by name.

As said on irc, this is very welcome and useful. You will need to write a new machine class (potentially inheriting from LinearMachine but not necessarily). I think it might...

Here is a list of common link functions and likelihoods: https://www.statsmodels.org/stable/glm.html

* I agree on inheriting from linear machine to reuse weights/bias * I am not sure about putting the optimizer should be part of the class state, it could (should?)...

link function modular -> different link functions possible. About the optimizer, nevermind for now. I suggest we move into some actual code for discussing this further

It is really hard to give feedback from a pastebin because I canot comment inline. However * things like learning rate should not be part of the class, as that...

Please don't comment here, but in the referenced issues

try the develop branch instead! :)

yes
