I have already download weka extensions but I don't know how to use it to do regression prediction. Is there any tutorial for learning?

    I am not sure why you'd use WEKA as the extension has not been updated for the last 5 years and a lot of happened in RapidMiner since. WEKA extension operators do not even match the current WEKA functionality, so you'd have a hard time finding a WEKA (product) tutorial to match what is in RapidMiner extension. There is very little in WEKA (if anything at all), which is not in RapidMiner core and its supported machine learning extensions. Just use RapidMiner regression operator!

    Thanks man. BTW does Rapidminer do grid search or any optimization for hyper parameters? Cause Weka has some of the method to do that and I wonder if there is any in RM.

    @FredL yes, RapidMiner also has grid optimisation available via "Optimize Parameters (Grid)" operator. It also has a built in tutorial which explains how to set and track the process parameters.
