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.
