Linear regression A lgorithm Concept of Linear regression In order to model the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables, linear regression is a machine learning algorithm. The goal of linear regression is to find a linear equation that best describes the relationship between the variables. Using the values of the independent variables as a starting point, this equation can then be used to predict the value of the dependent variable. There is simply one independent variable and one dependent variable in basic linear regression. The linear equation takes the form of y = mx + b, where y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable, m is the slope of the line, and b is the y-intercept. For example, let's say we have a dataset of the number of hours studied and the corresponding test scores of a group of students. We can use linear regression to find the relationship between the two variables and predict a student's test scor...
Machine Learning Algorithms with Python Code Contents of Algorithms 1. ML Linear regression A statistical analysis technique known as "linear regression" is used to simulate the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. 2. ML Logistic regression Logistic regression: A statistical method used to analyse a dataset in which there are one or more independent variables that determine an outcome. It is used to model the probability of a certain outcome, typically binary (yes/no). 3. ML Decision trees Decision trees: A machine learning technique that uses a tree-like model of decisions and their possible consequences. It is used for classification and regression analysis, where the goal is to predict the value of a dependent variable based on the values of several independent variables. 4. ML Random forests Random forests: A machine learning technique that uses multiple decision trees to improve the accuracy of predicti...
