Questions and Answers

What is the primary goal of simple linear regression in the context of home price prediction?

  • To establish a linear relationship between home area and price for prediction. (correct)
  • To identify outliers in the home price data.
  • To create a complex model that accurately predicts home prices.
  • To analyze the historical trends of home prices in Monroe Township.

    • Which of the following is NOT a step involved in implementing simple linear regression using the Scikit-learn library in Python?

  • Loading the data into a Pandas DataFrame.
  • Fitting the model to the training data using `reg.fit()`.
  • Importing the `linear_model` module from sklearn.
  • Creating a logistic regression object. (correct)

    • What is the significance of the 'best-fit line' in simple linear regression for home price prediction?

  • It shows the correlation between home area and price.
  • It minimizes the errors between predicted and actual home prices. (correct)
  • It indicates the maximum possible home price for a given area.
  • It represents the average home price in Monroe Township.

    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_model module 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().
    • 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
