Linear regression is significantly simpler and also learns from input data.

Markov chains are basically lookup tables. I don't see how linear regression is simpler that that.

  • Markov chains aren't lookup tables... Markov chains is the description of a process where you generate the next step by looking at preceding steps, that can be a lookup table but it can also be more complex like modern LLMs.
