Study Notes
Simple Linear Regression for Home Price Prediction
- A simple linear regression model predicts home prices based on area.
- The dataset includes home prices and areas (square feet) from Monroe Township, New Jersey.
- The goal is to predict prices for homes with 3,300 and 5,000 square feet.
- A scatter plot visualizes the area-price relationship.
- A regression line fits the data points, minimizing prediction errors.
- Error is calculated by squaring and summing individual differences between actual and predicted prices.
- The best line minimizes the sum of squared errors.
- The equation is
price = m * area + b
, where 'm' is the slope and 'b' is the intercept. - Area is the independent variable, and price is the dependent variable.
- Used libraries:
sklearn
(scikit-learn),pandas
, andmatplotlib
. - Loads data from a CSV file into a Pandas DataFrame.
- Creates a scatter plot to show the area-price relationship.
- Creates a
LinearRegression
object usingsklearn
. - Trains the model with
reg.fit(df[['area']], df.price)
. - Predicts prices for specified areas using
reg.predict([[area]])
. - Calculates the slope and intercept to form the linear equation.
- Generates a new CSV file with predicted prices.
- Visualizes the regression line on the scatter plot.
- Includes an exercise predicting net income in 2020, using Canada's adjusted net national income per capita data (1970-2016).
Linear Regression Model
- The model learns the area-price relationship by training on existing home price data.
- After training, it predicts home prices for new homes' areas.
Key Concepts
- Linear Regression: Models the relationship between variables using a linear equation.
- Slope: Measures the change in the dependent variable per unit change in the independent variable.
- Intercept: Represents the dependent variable's value when the independent variable is zero.
- Error: The difference between actual and predicted values.
- Sum of Squared Errors: Measures the model's fit by summing the squared errors.
- Training: The process of feeding data to the model to learn patterns.
- Prediction: Using the trained model to estimate values for new data.
Jupyter Notebook
- The code is developed and executed in a Jupyter notebook environment.
- It interactively displays code and results.
Summary
- This tutorial explains how to create a simple Python linear regression model for predicting home prices based on area.
- Existing home price data is used to train a model that predicts prices for new homes.
- Key concepts like linear regression, training, and prediction are explained, along with an exercise related to Canadian adjusted net national income per capita.
