Introduction This post is going to be a short and birds-eye view of probability theory. During my undergraduate days, I often wonder what is the use of probability theory provided its fluctuating nature. For example chance of getting ahead by tossing a fair coin is 0.5. Suppose we got the head the first time, there …

An Intuitive Explanation of Linear Regression

2 Comments / Code, Conceptual, Implementation, Tutorial / By

Linear regression is one of the algorithm machine learning enthusiasts start to learn first. In this article, l will walk you through the linear regression intuition. We will implement the basic form of it without using any machine learning packages. The main philosophy of supervised machine learning algorithms is to learn from data. The algorithms …
