A perceptron is a ____ model.
A
Linear
B
non linear
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Perceptron is a linear Machine Learning algorithm used for supervised learning for various binary classifiers. This algorithm enables neurons to learn elements and processes them one by one during preparation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Yes a perceptron (one fully connected unit) can be used for regression. It will just be a linear regressor. If you use no activation function you get a regressor and if you put a sigmoid activation you get a classifier.

Detailed explanation-3: -It is called a linear classifier because its decision boundary is given by a (linear) hyperplane. Such a hyperplane is given by the set x|wtx=b which thus splits Rn into two classes, x|wtx≤b and x|wtx>b.

Detailed explanation-4: -The perceptron outputs 1 for any input point above the hyperplane, and outputs 0 for any input on or below the hyperplane. For this reason, the perceptron is called a linear classifier, i.e., it works well for data that are linearly separable.
