Linear Regression: A Simple Introduction | Class 10 - Artificial Intelligence 

Linear regression is one of the most basic and important tools in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning. It helps us understand relationships between two things and make predictions. It is an example of a rule-based AI model.

How Does Linear Regression Work?

Linear regression uses a simple idea: drawing a straight line through data points.

This line helps us see the relationship between two things. For example, imagine you're plotting how many hours you revise for a test against the marks you get. More revision generally leads to higher marks. Linear regression helps find the best line to represent this relationship.

This line can then be used to predict your marks based on how long you revise. Of course, it's not perfect, but it gives you a good estimate!

The Linear Regression AI model uses an algorithm to predict the output values (dependent variable) based on input features (independent variable) from the data fed into the system. It builds a model to predict the value for new data.

Why is Linear Regression Important?

Linear regression is used everywhere! For example:

💡Predicting sales based on advertising spending.

💡Estimating temperatures based on time of year.

💡Forecasting stock prices.

It’s a simple but powerful tool that helps us make sense of data and make predictions.

Q1 (MCQ). Regression only works with which kind of data?

(a) Intermittent Data

(b) Step Function Data

(c) Linear Data

(d) Continuous Data

Answer: Continuous Data: This type of data can take on any value within a given range.

Think of things like height, weight, temperature, or time. Linear regression works best when the relationship between the variables is continuous and can be represented by a line.

Q2. Study the following figure, which regression line is considered the best fit?

(a) Line A

(b) Line B

(c) Line C

(d) None of these

Answer: (b) Line B

Line B passes closest to the majority of the data points. It represents the trend of the data most accurately

In linear regression, the goal is to find the line that minimizes the distance between the line and the data points. Line B achieves this better than the other two lines.

Q3. Is regression part of supervised learning? 

Answer: Yes, regression is part of supervised learning. Regression is supervised learning where the goal is to predict a continuous value, like house prices, temperatures, or exam scores. For example, if we give the computer data about house sizes and their prices, it learns to predict the price of a new house based on its size.
