Program 7:

AIM:
To implement Linear Regression using Python and evaluate its performance using
Mean Squared Error (MSE).

THEORY:

Linear Regression is one of the most fundamental supervised machine learning


algorithms used for predicting a continuous dependent variable (y) based on the value of
an independent variable (X). It assumes a linear relationship between the input and output
variables.
Mathematical Formula:
The relationship can be represented as:
y = b₀ + b₁X + ε
Where:
 b₀ is the intercept (bias)
 b₁ is the slope (coefficient)
 ε is the error term
Key Concepts:
 Training: The model learns the best-fit line by minimizing the error between
the predicted and actual values.
 Evaluation: A common metric used is Mean Squared Error (MSE) which
measures the average squared difference between actual and predicted
values.
Applications:
 Forecasting (e.g., sales, stock prices)
 Trend analysis
 Risk assessment
 Predictive maintenance

PROCEDURE:
1. Import necessary libraries: numpy, matplotlib, and sklearn.
2. Generate synthetic data simulating a linear pattern with some noise.
3. Split the dataset into training and testing sets using train_test_split.
4. Create and train the Linear Regression model using LinearRegression() from
sklearn.
5. Predict the values for test data.
6. Evaluate the model using mean_squared_error.
7. Plot the actual data points and the regression line for visualization.
PROGRAM:
import numpy as np
import [Link] as plt
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression
from [Link] import mean_squared_error

# Generate synthetic data


[Link](42)
X = 2 * [Link](100, 1)
y = 4 + 3 * X + [Link](100, 1)

# Split the dataset into training and testing sets


X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)

# Create and train the model


model = LinearRegression()
[Link](X_train, y_train)

# Make predictions
y_pred = [Link](X_test)

# Evaluate the model


mse = mean_squared_error(y_test, y_pred)
print(f"Mean Squared Error: {mse}")
print(f"Intercept: {model.intercept_[0]}")
print(f"Coefficient: {model.coef_[0][0]}")

# Plot results
[Link](X_test, y_test, color='blue', label='Actual Data') [Link](X_test,
y_pred, color='red', linewidth=2, label='Regression Line') [Link]("X")
