Linear regression

The term regression is used when you try to find the relationship between variables.

In Machine Learning, and in statistical modeling, that relationship is used to predict the outcome of future events.

Linear regression uses the relationship between the data-points to draw a straight line through all them.

This line can be used to predict future values.

R-squared

It is important to know how the relationship between the values of the x-axis and the values of the y-axis is, if there are no relationship the linear regression can not be used to predict anything.

This relationship is measured with a value called r-squared.

The r2 value ranges from 0 to 1, where 0 means no relation and 1 means 100% relation
