A Beginner's Guide to Exploratory Data Analysis with Linear Regression -- Part 1

Linear Regression is an algorithm that helps us predict unknown numeric outcome in future. It is usually the first Machine Learning (or Statistical) algorithms to learn when you are stepping into the world of Data Science or Machine Learning. Though it is one of the'old school' Statistical algorithms, it is still the most often used algorithm among many data scientists even today thanks to its simplicity and explainability. We at Exploratory always focus on, as the name suggests, making Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) easier. EDA is a practice of iteratively asking a series of questions about data and trying to gain useful insights out of the data to answer the questions and essentially to influence our decision making.
