Linear Regression (ML)/Evidence
Method evidence record

Linear Regression (ML)

Linear regression fits a straight-line relationship between one or more input features and a continuous numeric outcome by minimising the sum of squared prediction errors. As a machine-learning model it is trained on labeled examples and evaluated on held-out data, making it the simplest supervised learning baseline for any regression task.
