Generation

**Linear regression** is a statistical method that models the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables by fitting a linear equation that minimizes the sum of squared residuals between observed and predicted values. It matters because it provides interpretable predictions and quantifies relationships between variables, making it foundational for scientific research, business forecasting, and causal inference. Despite the availability of complex machine learning models, linear regression remains widely used due to its simplicity, computational efficiency, and ability to provide statistical inference about the strength and significance of relationships.
