+version is implemented under [LogisticRegressionWithLBFGS]
+(api/scala/index.html#org.apache.spark.mllib.classification.LogisticRegressionWithLBFGS), and this
+version supports both binary and multinomial Logistic Regression while SGD version only supports
+binary Logistic Regression. However, L-BFGS version doesn't support L1 regularization but SGD one
+supports L1 regularization. When L1 regularization is not required, L-BFGS version is strongly
+recommended since it converges faster and more accurately compared to SGD by approximating the
+inverse Hessian matrix using quasi-Newton method.
