Introduction

Regression is a broad topic that connects mathematical statistics, data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. As the basics of regression are rooted in mathematics, we will start by exploring the mathematical fundamentals.

Most of this topic will deal with different forms of linear regression, including linear regression with one variable, linear ...
