Regression analysis is the process of estimating the relationship between dependent variables. For example, if a variable y is linearly dependent on variable x, then regression analysis tries to estimate the constants a and b in the equation
, which expresses the linear relationship between the variables y and x.
In this chapter, you will learn about the following topics:
- The core idea of regression by performing a simple linear regression on the perfect data from first principles in a Fahrenheit and Celsius conversion example
- Performing linear regression analysis by using the least squares method from the
scipy.linalg
Python library on perfect and real-world data in the examples of Fahrenheit and Celsius conversion, weight prediction based on height, and flight time duration prediction based on distance - The gradient descent algorithm in order to find a regression model with the best fit (using the least mean squares rule) and how to implement it in Python
- The establishment...
