Linear Regression

Linear regression is the fundamental starting point for all regression methods and it is still a useful and widely used statistical learning method. Moreover, it serves as a good jumping point for newer approaches. Consequently, the importance of having a good understanding of linear regression before studying more complex learning methods cannot be overstated (James et al., 2021).

As a reminder, here are the slides we covered in Statistics:

• Simple linear regression

• Multiple linear regression

Let’s implement a linear regression model in Python:
