``ridge_regression``
====================

Ridge regression regressor supporting continuous and mixed-feature datasets using a direct weighted linear-system solve with L2 regularization. Learns from a dataset object implementing the ``regression_dataset_protocol`` protocol and returns a regressor term that can be used for prediction and exported as predicate clauses.
