======================================================
Effect of transforming the targets in regression model
======================================================
In this example, we give an overview of the
:class:`sklearn.compose.TransformedTargetRegressor`. Two examples
illustrate the benefit of transforming the targets before learning a linear
regression model. The first example uses synthetic data while the second
example is based on the Boston housing data set.
