Overview This repository contains an implementation of a Linear Regression model, a fundamental supervised learning algorithm used for predicting continuous numerical outcomes based on one or more predictor variables. The model is trained to establish a linear relationship between the input features and the target variable, optimizing the coefficients to minimize prediction error.
Key Features Data Preprocessing: Includes handling missing values, feature scaling, and categorical variable encoding.
Model Training: Implements the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method to estimate model parameters.
Evaluation Metrics: Assesses performance using Mean Squared Error (MSE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and R-squared (R²).
Visualization: Provides plots for residual analysis, prediction vs. actual values, and feature importance.
Cross-Validation: Uses k-fold cross-validation to ensure model robustness.
Technologies Used Python (NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn, Matplotlib/Seaborn)
Jupyter Notebook (for interactive analysis)
Applications Predictive analysis in finance, economics, healthcare, and marketing.
Trend forecasting and risk assessment.
