Linear Regression, Kernel Trick, and Linear-Kernel.
Linear regression and linear-kernel ridge regression without regularization are equivalent. The kernel trick involves transforming data into a high-dimensional space without actually computing the transformation. The linear-kernel in linear regression is useless as it is equivalent to standard linear regression.
