I've been working on the user guide for the math expressions. Here is the
page on regression:

https://github.com/joel-bernstein/lucene-solr/blob/math_expressions_documentation/solr/solr-ref-guide/src/regression.adoc

This page is part of the larger math expression documentation. The TOC is
here:

https://github.com/joel-bernstein/lucene-solr/blob/math_expressions_documentation/solr/solr-ref-guide/src/math-expressions.adoc

The docs are still very rough but you can get an idea of the coverage.
