Regression Analysis in Python

Regression analysis is one of the most widely used statistical techniques in data science and machine learning. It helps us understand relationships between variables and make predictions. In this blog, we’ll walk through the basics of regression analysis using Python and its popular libraries. 🔍 What is Regression Analysis? Regression analysis is a predictive modeling technique used to examine the relationship between a dependent (target) variable and one or more independent (predictor) variables. The most common type is linear regression, which assumes a linear relationship between variables. For example, predicting house prices based on area, location, and number of bedrooms is a regression problem. 🛠 Libraries Required Before we start, install the required Python libraries: pip install numpy pandas matplotlib seaborn scikit-learn Now, let's import them: import numpy as np import pandas as pd import matplotlib.pyplot as plt import seaborn as sns from sklearn.linear_model impor...
