predictive models in this we're going to look at what predictive modeling is and how it uses statistics to predict outcomes from existing data we'll cover real world examples to understand the concepts better we'll see what regression analysis means and analyze some of its forms in detail we'll also look at an example which predicts the price of car for us these are the topics that we'll cover in this linear regression and how to implement it in python polynomial regressionits application and examples multivariate regression and how to implement it in python an example we'll build that predicts the price of car using python the concept of multi-level models and some things to know about them linear regression let' talk about regression analysisa very popular topic in data science and statistics it' all about trying to fit curve or some sort of functionto set of observations and then using that function to predict new values that you haven' seen yet that' all there is to linear regression
