Generation

Linear regression is a statistical method used to model the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables by fitting a linear equation to observed data. The goal is to find the best-fitting straight line (or hyperplane in multiple dimensions) that minimizes the difference between predicted and actual values. The key formula for simple linear regression is: **y = β₀ + β₁x + ε** where y is the dependent variable, x is the independent variable, β₀ is the y-intercept, β₁ is the slope, and ε represents the error term.
