Welcome to Unit 5Supervised Learning – Regression
In this unit, we discuss supervised learning, a powerful technique where models are trained on labeled data to make predictions. Specifically, we will focus on regression, a type of supervised learning used to predict continuous values. We will start with simple linear regression, a fundamental method for modeling the relationship between two variables and predicting outcomes based on linear patterns. Building on this foundation, we will then explore multiple linear regression, which allows us to model more complex relationships involving multiple predictor variables. This technique is widely used in real-world scenarios where multiple factors influence the outcome. Finally, we will explore the evaluation of regression models, covering key metrics such as R-squared and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE). We will also discuss the limitations of linear regression, including the important concept of multicollinearity, which can impact model accuracy. By the end of this unit, You will have a strong understanding of regression techniques, the ability to implement them in Python, and the knowledge to evaluate and apply these models effectively in real-world applications. You can start by reviewing the unit learning outcomes and then reviewing the unit resources.
