1) Background: Linear Regression Given a set of experimental data points, we often want to find the best-fit straight line through those points. Linear regression is the process of finding this line. For a set of n data point (x, y), it will be shown in your statistics course that the best-fit straight line though the data set would be given by, where with the mean of x and y defined by 1) Background: Linear Regression Given a set of experimental data points, we often want to find the best-fit straight line through those points.
