What is a Linear Regression:
Linear regression is a statistical method used to model the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. It assumes a linear relationship, meaning that a change in the independent variable(s) is associated with a proportional change in the dependent variable.
Y =mX+C this is how we represent linear relationship.
What is P-Value:
Meaning: The p-value is a measure of the evidence against a null hypothesis. In linear regression, the null hypothesis often assumes that there is no relationship between the independent variable(s) and the dependent variable.
Significance: A low p-value (typically ≤ 0.05) indicates that there is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis, suggesting that the independent variable(s) have a significant effect on the dependent variable.
Coefficient:
Meaning: In the context of linear regression, coefficients represent the slope of the line that best fits the data, indicating the strength and direction of the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. Significance: A positive coefficient suggests a positive relationship (as one variable increases, so does the other), while a negative coefficient implies a negative relationship. The magnitude of the coefficient reflects the size of the effect.R-Squared Value (Coefficient of Determination):
Meaning: The R-squared value measures the proportion of the variance in the dependent variable that is predictable from the independent variable(s). It ranges from 0 to 1, with 0 indicating no explanatory power and 1 indicating perfect explanatory power.Significance: A higher R-squared value suggests that a larger proportion of the variability in the dependent variable is explained by the model. It provides insight into the goodness of fit of the regression model.
