Regression Analysis with R

Getting Started with Regression

Regression analysis is the starting point in data science. This is because regression models represent the most well-understood models in numerical simulation. Once we experience the workings of regression models, we will be able to understand all other machine learning algorithms. Regression models are easily interpretable as they are based on solid mathematical bases (such as matrix algebra for example). We will see in the following sections that linear regression allows us to derive a mathematical formula representative of the corresponding model. Perhaps this is why such techniques are extremely easy to understand.
