This type of statistical analysis consists of examining various data points to determine which variables are most notable predictors. Linear regression draws corresponding trend lines, such as ...

Machine learning uses algorithms to turn a data set into a model that can identify patterns or make predictions from new data. Which algorithm works best depends on the problem.

Regression analysis is a quantitative tool that is easy to use and can provide valuable information on financial analysis and forecasting.

Before building my model, I want to step back to offer an easy-to-understand definition of linear regression and why it’s vital to analyzing data. What is linear regression?
