    [SPARK-15186][ML][DOCS] Add user guide for generalized linear regression · c96244f5
    sethah authored
    ## What changes were proposed in this pull request?
    
    This patch adds a user guide section for generalized linear regression and includes the examples from [#12754](https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/12754).
    
    ## How was this patch tested?
    
    Documentation only, no tests required.
    
    ## Approach
    
    In general, it is a bit unclear what level of detail ought to be included in the user guide since there is a lot of variability within the current user guide. I tried to give a fairly brief mathematical introduction to GLMs, and cover what types of problems they could be used for. Additionally, I included a brief blurb on the IRLS solver. The input/output columns are given in a table as is found elsewhere in the docs (though, again, these appear rather intermittently in the current docs), as well as a table providing the supported families and their link functions.

    Closes #13139 from sethah/SPARK-15186.
