Regresseilla

Regresseilla is a term that can refer to several related concepts, primarily within the fields of statistics and machine learning, all pertaining to the analysis of relationships between variables. At its core, regression analysis is a statistical method used to estimate the strength of the relationship between one dependent variable and one or more independent variables. The goal is to understand how changes in the independent variables affect the dependent variable.

In simpler terms, regression helps us predict or explain an outcome. For instance, if we want to understand how the price of a house is related to its size, number of bedrooms, and location, we could use regression analysis. The price would be the dependent variable, and the other factors would be the independent variables. The analysis would yield an equation that allows us to estimate the price based on these characteristics.

There are various types of regression, including linear regression, logistic regression, polynomial regression, and others, each suited for different types of data and relationships. Linear regression assumes a linear relationship, meaning the change in the dependent variable for a unit change in the independent variable is constant. Logistic regression is used when the dependent variable is binary (e.g., yes/no, true/false).

The process typically involves fitting a model to observed data, evaluating its performance, and then using the model for prediction or inference. The accuracy of a regression model is assessed using metrics like R-squared, mean squared error, and others, which indicate how well the model fits the data and how reliable its predictions are likely to be.
