What is variable selection?
Variable selection is a collection of candidate model variables tested for significance during model training. Candidate model variables are also known as independent variables, predictors, attributes, model factors, covariates, regressors, features, or characteristics.
When to use stepwise regression?
Stepwise regression is used to determine one or a few causal factors or dependent variables when you have a large number of dependent variables.
What are some examples of regression analysis?
Regression analysis can estimate a variable (outcome) as a result of some independent variables. For example, the yield to a wheat farmer in a given year is influenced by the level of rainfall, fertility of the land, quality of seedlings, amount of fertilizers used, temperatures and many other factors such as prevalence of diseases in the period.
What is simple linear regression is and how it works?
A sneak peek into what Linear Regression is and how it works. Linear regression is a simple machine learning method that you can use to predict an observations of value based on the relationship between the target variable and the independent linearly related numeric predictive features.
When to use multiple linear regression?
Multiple regression is an extension of simple linear regression. It is used when we want to predict the value of a variable based on the value of two or more other variables. The variable we want to predict is called the dependent variable (or sometimes, the outcome, target or criterion variable).
What is the formula for calculating regression?
Regression analysis is the analysis of relationship between dependent and independent variable as it depicts how dependent variable will change when one or more independent variable changes due to factors, formula for calculating it is Y = a + bX + E, where Y is dependent variable, X is independent variable, a is intercept, b is slope and E is residual.
