Linear Regression
Linear Regression


Linear Regression is the simplest algorithm . Linear Regression is basically modelled using a straight line . It is used with continous variable to predict values .  It is illustrated by the equation :       y= a0+a1x+ ε  
This equation tells us the relationship b/w the two variables i.e x and  y.  y depends on the value of x .
and where,a0 is the intercept ,a1 is Linear regression coefficient and ε = random error.

Types

Positive  and Negative Linear Relationship:
In Positive linear relationship, if y increases then x increases. 
In Negative linear relationship, if y decreases then x decreases.
Our main aim in this regression is to find the best fitted line . So, basically there are three common evolution metrics to find that :

  • Mean Absolute Error
  • Mean Squared Error
  • Root Mean Squared Error


Linear regression is furture categorized  into two types of the algorithm:

Simple Linear Regression:

If only one variable(i.e independent variable  is x) is used to conclude the value from a dependent variable.

Multiple Linear regression:

If more than one variable(eg : x ,z ) is used to conclude the answer of a dependent variable, then it is called Multiple Linear Regression.


Steps to train a model on linear regression  using python:

  1. import necessary library.
  2. Data Pre-processing(using the functions such as df.head,df,info and making histograms and plots).
  3. Fitting the Simple Linear Regression to the Training  and Testing Set by dividing it.
  4. Prediction of test result(output).
  5. visualizing the Training set results.

QUANTUM STORAGE & MEMORY

  Quantum computers stand to transform the world of computers. They have the capacity to be greatly more powerful than our current digital devices, with the power to solve important computational problems and simulate complex physical systems with unmatched efficiency. Like memories are an important component for computers, that’s like quantum memories are also essential components for quantum computers, a new generation of data processors that follow the laws of quantum mechanics and these laws help to overcome the limitations of classical computers. Quantum computers are expected to be much faster and more powerful than their traditional analogue as information is calculated in qubits (the fundamental unit of computation in quantum computing)  in quantum computers while the older units are bits which used in classical computers, can represent both 0 and 1 at the same time. Quantum memory is used as a key element in information processing, such as optical  quantum comp...

QUANTUM COMPUTING: CAN FIGHT CLIMATE CHANGE

….IN AN INFINITE UNIVERSE ANYTHING THAT COULD BE IMAGINED MIGHT SOMEWHERE EXIST.                                                                   - Dean Koontz Quantum computing is an emerging domain that is yet to enter our lives. However, the researchers are working hard to bring it into existence. Quantum computing can make the impossible possible. There are some problems that even supercomputers can’t solve. Quantum computers will however have the potential to solve such problems. In the same way that bits are used in a classical computer, quantum computers use quantum bits or qubits which can store information in the quantum form. A qubit can be 0 or 1, or ...

BLOCKCHAIN: HOW IT WORKS AND WHY SO POPULAR

Merely, 12 years ago on 31 st October 2008, SATOSHI NAKAMOTO published a paper on the internet about the idea of bitcoin. The Paper’s first few lines almost depicted all. The lines – “A version of electronic cash that would allow payments to be sent directly from one party/person to another party without involving a financial institution.” The value of bitcoin in 2010 was ~ 0 INR and value in 2020 ~ 15 lakhs INR. Recently, it touched its high price point, and now again is the topic of discussion among the market and media. Why so much difference? Like the US dollar is controlled by the Central Bank of US and the Indian rupee is controlled by RBI. Normally, our financial systems are based on “TRUST”. Whereas Cryptocurrency is a digital asset over which central banks or financial institutions have no control or rules/regulation. The currency notes and coins have value just because they are guaranteed by the government and central bank. Every currency has a promissory note with the signa...
