Study Notes
Simple Linear Regression for Home Price Prediction
- The goal is to predict home prices based on area using simple linear regression.
- Data includes home prices and corresponding areas from a neighborhood.
- A scatter plot visualizes the area-price relationship, showing a linear trend.
- The best-fit line minimizes errors between predicted and actual prices.
- Error is calculated by: finding the difference between actual and predicted prices, squaring each difference, and summing the squared differences.
- The line with the least sum of squared errors is the best fit.
- The linear equation is y = mx + b where:
- y is price (dependent variable).
- x is area (independent variable).
- m is the slope/gradient.
- b is the intercept.
- Python code uses the Scikit-learn library.
- The process:
- Import
linear_modelmodule from sklearn. - Load data into a Pandas DataFrame.
- Create a linear regression object (
reg). - Fit the model using
reg.fit(). - Make predictions with
reg.predict().
- Import
- Model calculates slope (
reg.coef_) and intercept (reg.intercept_). - Model predicts home prices given an area.
- Code generates a CSV file with predicted prices.
- Visualization includes both scatter plot of data and fitted line.
Exercise
