Linear Regression: Mathematical Intuition

Since the start of your data scientist journey, you have been commonly accustomed with this machine learning algorithm. Linear Regression as it is the basic and foremost machine learning algorithm we generally start with while analysing different regression problems. As the word linear says, the linear relationship between input variables(x) with the dependent output variable(y). Basically the linear regression analysis performs the task of predicticting the output variable by modelling or finding relationships between the independent variables(x). And the approach of finding the best ouput is by fitting the predicted line towards the best fit line.
