# Machine Learning
-SparkR allows the fitting of generalized linear models over DataFrames using the [glm()](api/R/glm.html) function. Under the hood, SparkR uses MLlib to train a model of the specified family. Currently the gaussian and binomial families are supported. We support a subset of the available R formula operators for model fitting, including '~', '.', ':', '+', and '-'.
+SparkR supports the following Machine Learning algorithms.
-The [summary()](api/R/summary.html) function gives the summary of a model produced by [glm()](api/R/glm.html).
+* Generalized Linear Regression Model [spark.glm()](api/R/spark.glm.html)
+* Naive Bayes [spark.naiveBayes()](api/R/spark.naiveBayes.html)
+* KMeans [spark.kmeans()](api/R/spark.kmeans.html)
+* AFT Survival Regression [spark.survreg()](api/R/spark.survreg.html)
-* For gaussian GLM model, it returns a list with 'devianceResiduals' and 'coefficients' components. The 'devianceResiduals' gives the min/max deviance residuals of the estimation; the 'coefficients' gives the estimated coefficients and their estimated standard errors, t values and p-values. (It only available when model fitted by normal solver.)
-* For binomial GLM model, it returns a list with 'coefficients' component which gives the estimated coefficients.
+[Generalized Linear Regression](api/R/spark.glm.html) can be used to train a model from a specified family. Currently the Gaussian, Binomial, Poisson and Gamma families are supported. We support a subset of the available R formula operators for model fitting, including '~', '.', ':', '+', and '-'.
-The examples below show the use of building gaussian GLM model and binomial GLM model using SparkR.
+The [summary()](api/R/summary.html) function gives the summary of a model produced by different algorithms listed above.
+It produces the similar result compared with R summary function.
