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.
