Simple Linear Questions and Answers

Q: What is a linear regression?

A: It is all about getting the best fit line that supports linearity. The relation between independent and dependent variables helps to form a  Straight Line.


Q: Assumptions of Linear regression?

A: a)The relation between independent and dependent variables that supports Linearity.

    b)Multicollinearity.The relation between one feature with other feature

    c)Homoscedasticity: It means the same distribution of error for all the independent variables.

   d)Hetrosedasticity: it is quite opposite to Homescedasticity.no Equal distribution of the errors.


Q: Regression problems evaluation metrics and which one we have to use?

A: In regression problems, we are having a different  type of evaluation metrics like RMSE,
MSE, MAE, etc. And now the question is which one we have to use?
for regression problems, we can use any metrics to calculate the score but in Compilation time we use MAE(mean absolute error), which saves execution time and memory space, etc So most of the people use this.

Q: OUTLIER treatment required for Linear regression?
A) Yes Removing Outliers will help to improve the score.

Q): if our feature not following any Gaussian Distribution what we have to do?

A) we have to use 1) Log Transformation or
                              2) Reciprocal Transformation or
                              3)Exponential Transformation or
                              4)Sqareroot Transformation 
you can choose any technique for your feature that falls in any of the standard distribution.

Q)Missing value treatment is required for Linear regression

A) Missing value treatment is required for all the models. fill missing values with (mean, mode, median)

Q) Advantages and disadvantages of  Linear Model
A)  
  1. It can handle overfitting using dimensionality reduction techniques and cross-validation and regularization.
  2. Linear regression performs exceptionally well for linearly separable data.
Disadvantages:
  1. Sometimes Lot of Feature Engineering Is required
  2. If the independent features are correlated it may affect performance
  3. It is often quite prone to noise and overfitting

Q) Linear regression require Feature scaling?

A) Yes it needs a feature scaling.

Q) Linear regression for Time-series analysis
A) yes you can use but the results not accurate.

Loss Functions | MSE | MAE | RMSE

            Performance Metrics The various metrics used to evaluate the results of the prediction are : Mean Squared Error(MSE) Mean Absolute error(MAE) Root-Mean-Squared-Error(RMSE) Adjusted R² Mean Squared Error: Mean Squared error is one of the most used metrics for regression tasks. MSE is simply the average of the squared difference between the target value and value predicted by the regression model.  As it squares the differences and  penalizes (punish)even a small error which leads to over-estimation of how bad the model is. It is preferred more than other metrics because it is differentiable and hence can be optimized better. in the above formulae, y=actual value and ( yhat) means predicted value by the model. RMSE(Root Mean Squared Error: This is the same as MSE (Mean Squared Error) but the root of the value is considered while determining the accuracy of the model. It is preferred more in some cases because the errors are first...

SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINE

                 SUPPORT VECTOR MACHINE:- Support vector machine:-it is a type of supervised learning algorithm it is used to solve both classification and regression problem. Note :- It is mostly used for classification problems. what we are going to learn in SVM: a) Support vectors b) Hyperplane c) Marginal Distance d) Linear Separable e) Non-linear separable f) support kernels NOw we will discuss everything in detail. Hyper plane:- in the above diagram, we have drawn three lines(A, B, C) separating two data points (stars and reds) The lines (A, B, C) are called Hyperplanes. Note:- “Select the hyper-plane which segregates the two classes better” i.e  above there are three hyperplanes how to select the best hyperplane? b)Marginal Distance:- When we draw a hyperplane the plane creates two new(------) dotted lines one line above the hyperplane and one line below the hyperplane line. see the below image you will get an ...

Multi Linear Regression

                                 MULTI LINEAR REGRESSION Before going into MULTI LINEAR REGRESSION first look into Linear Regression. LINEAR REGRESSION:-It is all about getting the best line for the given data that supports linearity. for Linear regression please check my previous post. In Linear regression, we have only one independent variable and one dependent variable. In Multilinear Regression, we have more than one independent variable and one dependent variable. This is the main difference between Multilinear regression and Linear regression. Formulae for Linear regression and Multilinear Regression is listed below: Evaluation metrics for Multi-linear Regression problems are: a)Mean Absolute error b)Mean Squared error c)Root Mean Squared Error d)..... For Evaluation metrics I had posted another post please check it. For the code part please check my Github In ...
