Supervised Learning: Linear Regression
what is Linear Regression? Linear regression is a supervised machine learning algorithm used for predicting a continuous outcome variable (also known as a dependent variable) based on one or more predictor variables (also known as independent variables or features). The goal of linear regression is to find the line of best fit that minimizes the sum of the squared differences between the predicted values and the actual values. Linear regression assumes that there is a linear relationship between the predictor variables and the outcome variable. In other words, it assumes that changes in the predictor variables are directly proportional to changes in the outcome variable. There are two main types of linear regression: simple linear regression and multiple linear regression. Simple linear regression is used when there is only one predictor variable. The equation for a simple linear regression model is: Y = b0 + b1*X Where Y is the outcome variable, X is the predictor variable, b0 i...
