Regression analysis finds the best-fit line (y = mx + b) through a set of data points. It minimizes the sum of squared differences and is fundamental to predictive modeling.
Formula
m = (n×Σxy - Σx×Σy) / (n×Σx² - (Σx)²); b = (Σy - m×Σx) / n
Guida passo passo
- 1Input data points (x, y)
- 2Calculate sums: Σx, Σy, Σxy, Σx²
- 3Compute slope m and intercept b using the formula
