1 00:00:01,260 --> 00:00:03,720 Now, we are going to start with linear regression. 2 00:00:05,580 --> 00:00:10,350 It is a very simple approach for supervised learning, linear regression has been around for a long 3 00:00:10,350 --> 00:00:14,160 been and still are useful and a widely used statistical tool. 4 00:00:16,020 --> 00:00:18,750 Also, it is a very good starting point for machine learning. 5 00:00:18,780 --> 00:00:25,320 As many of the newer and fancier approaches of machine learning can be seen as a extensional Delina 6 00:00:25,340 --> 00:00:26,430 revision maternally. 7 00:00:28,300 --> 00:00:33,550 Therefore, it is really important to have a solid understanding of linear regression before you move 8 00:00:33,550 --> 00:00:35,210 on to complex learning methods. 9 00:00:37,940 --> 00:00:43,410 In the coming videos, we will learn the key concepts behind linear regression model and then Lundie 10 00:00:43,430 --> 00:00:48,140 Lee squared approach, which is the most commonly used approach to predict linear model. 11 00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:52,510 Let us go back to the host blazing data. 12 00:00:56,790 --> 00:01:05,130 The prediction question asked was, how accurately can I predict the price of a house, given the values 13 00:01:05,130 --> 00:01:06,570 of all these variables? 14 00:01:09,410 --> 00:01:15,890 The inferential question that we were asking is how accurately can we estimate the effect of each of 15 00:01:15,890 --> 00:01:18,480 these variables on the host place? 16 00:01:19,540 --> 00:01:24,470 So we are going to find the answers to these two questions using linear regression.
