Question 1.
What is the main purpose of training a linear regression model?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the relationship between your features and target.
Question 2.
What does 'fit' mean in relation to training models?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how adjusting parameters helps in better predictions.
3Question 3.
What is the main goal when training a linear regression model?
- To maximize prediction errors
- To find the best-fitting line
- To ignore data patterns
Show hintHide hint
Think about why we want to represent data with a line.
4Question 4.
True or False: The features in a linear regression model are the expected outcomes we want to predict.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Remember the definitions of features and targets.
Question 5.
You have a dataset of housing prices based on square footage. Describe how you would set this up for training a linear regression model, including defining features and target.
Show hintHide hint
Think about which variables could influence the price.
Question 6.
Explain how you would interpret the slope and intercept of a trained linear regression model predicting a variable such as income based on education level.
