Linear regression attempts to model the relationship between two variables, an explanatory variable and a dependent variable, by fitting a linear equation to observed data. It is a linear approach for modeling the relationship between a scalar dependent variable and one or more explanatory variables, with the unknown model parameters estimated from the data using least squares or other approaches like ridge regression. Linear regression is commonly used for predictive analysis and relating variables, such as modeling the relationship between individuals' weights and heights.

OBSERVATION

The most basic type of regression and commonly used predictive analysis is Linear
Regression. Linear regression attempts to model the relationship between two variables by
fitting a linear equation to observed data. One variable is considered to be an explanatory
variable, and the other is considered to be a dependent variable. For example, a modeler might
want to relate the weights of individuals to their heights using a linear regression model.

CONCLUSION

Linear regression is a linear approach for modeling the relationship between a


scalar dependent variable y and one or more explanatory variables (or independent variables)
denoted X. In linear regression, the relationships are modeled using linear predictor
functions whose unknown model parameters are estimatedfrom the data. Linear regression
models are often fitted using the least squares approach, but they may also be fitted in other
ways, such as by minimizing the "lack of fit" in some other norm (as with least absolute
deviations regression), or by minimizing a penalized version of the least squares loss
function as in ridge regression (L2-norm penalty) and lasso (L1-norm penalty).
