Study Notes
Linear Regression
- Linear regression is a supervised learning algorithm that seeks to find a function that predicts the output variable based on the input variable.
- The goal is to find the best-fit line that minimizes the difference between the observed and predicted values.
- The regression line equation is: y = b1x + b0, where b1 is the slope and b0 is the intercept.
Correlation Coefficient
- The correlation coefficient (r) measures the strength and direction of the linear relationship between two variables.
- The range of r is from -1 to 1, where:
- 1 (or near to that) indicates a strong positive linear correlation.
- -1 (or near to that) indicates a strong negative linear correlation.
- 0 indicates no linear correlation.
Calculating Regression Coefficients
- The slope (b1) is calculated using the formula: b1 = Σ((x - x')(y - y')) / Σ(x - x')²
- The intercept (b0) is calculated using the formula: b0 = y - b1x
Dataset
- A dataset consists of input variables (X) and output variables (Y).
- The dataset is used to calculate the regression coefficients and to visualize the data.
Regression Line
- The regression line is the line that best fits the data.
- The regression line equation is used to predict the output variable based on the input variable.
Predicting the Unknown
- Predicting the unknown involves using the regression line equation to estimate the output variable based on a new input variable.
- The accuracy of the prediction depends on the strength of the correlation between the input and output variables.
