Q1
In which scenario would you prefer using linear regression over other algorithms?
  1. When the relationship between variables is non-linear
  2. When you need to classify data into categories
  3. When you want to predict a continuous outcome with a linear relationship
  4. When the data is unstructured

Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In which scenario would you prefer using linear regression over other algorithms?
  • Step 1: Identify the type of outcome variable you want to predict. It should be continuous (like height, weight, or temperature).
  • Step 2: Check if there is a linear relationship between the outcome variable and the independent variables (the factors you think affect the outcome).
  • Step 3: If the relationship looks like a straight line when you plot the data, linear regression is a good choice.
  • Step 4: Consider the simplicity of linear regression. If you want a straightforward model that is easy to interpret, choose linear regression.
  • Step 5: Ensure that you have enough data points to make the linear regression model reliable.
