Description

This pull request adds a Ridge Regression algorithm with L2 regularization, implemented using batch gradient descent.

The implementation:

  • Is written from scratch without using external machine learning libraries
  • Applies L2 regularization while excluding the bias/intercept term
  • Uses clear function and variable naming with Python type hints
  • Includes input validation and comprehensive doctests
  • Is implemented as a pure algorithm with no file I/O, printing, or plotting
