Least Squares Regression
📰 Medium · Data Science
Learn how to apply Least Squares Regression to find the line of best fit for your data by minimizing the sum of squares of residuals
Action Steps
- Import necessary libraries such as NumPy and scikit-learn
- Prepare your dataset by defining the independent and dependent variables
- Apply the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method to find the coefficients of the regression line
- Use the coefficients to make predictions on new data
- Evaluate the model by calculating the coefficient of determination (R-squared)
