    Study Notes

    Linear Regression

    • Linear regression is a supervised machine learning algorithm that computes the linear relationship between the dependent variable and one or more independent features by fitting a linear equation to observed data.

    Types of Linear Regression

    • There are two types of linear regression:
      • Simple Linear Regression
      • Multiple Linear Regression

    Simple Linear Regression

    • Simple linear regression involves only one independent variable and one dependent variable.
    • The equation for simple linear regression is: y = β0 + β1X
    • where:
      • Y is the dependent variable
      • X is the independent variable
      • β0 is the y-intercept
      • β1 is the slope

    Example of Simple Linear Regression

    • Calculate the means of X and Y.
    • Calculate the slope (β1) using the formula.
    • Calculate the intercept (β0) using the formula.
    • The final equation is: y = β0 + β1X
    • Predict the score for a student who studied for 4.5 hours using the equation.

    Evaluation Metrics

    • There are three evaluation metrics:
      • Mean Absolute Error (MAE)
      • Mean Squared Error (MSE)
      • Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE)

    Advantages of Simple Linear Regression

    • Simplicity and interpretability: easy to understand and implement.
    • Computational efficiency: fast and efficient for large datasets.

    Disadvantages of Simple Linear Regression

    • Assumes linear relationship: may not capture curved, exponential, or complex relationships.
    • Limited to two variables: cannot analyze multiple factors influencing the outcome.

    Multiple Linear Regression

    • This involves more than one independent variable and one dependent variable.
    • The equation for multiple linear regression is: y = β0 + β1X1 + β2X2 + … + βnXp.
