What is Linear Regression?
Linear regression is a statistical analysis technique used to model the relationshi
one independent variable and one dependent variable. It aims to predict a linear
between these variables by fitting a linear equation to observed data1.
In simple terms, linear regression helps us understand how changes in one varia
are associated with changes in another variable.
