//! # Linear Regression //! //! Linear regression is a very straightforward approach for predicting a quantitative response \\(y\\) on the basis of a linear combination of explanatory variables \\(X\\). //! Linear regression assumes that there is approximately a linear relationship between \\(X\\) and \\(y\\). Formally, we can write this linear relationship as //! //! \\[y \approx \beta_0 + \sum_{i=1}^n \beta_iX_i + \epsilon\\] //! //! where \\(\epsilon\\) is a mean-zero random error term and the regression coefficients \\(\beta_0, \beta_0, ... \beta_n\\) are unknown, and must be estimated. //! //! While regression coefficients can be estimated directly by solving //! //! \\[\hat{\beta} = (X^TX)^{-1}X^Ty \\] //! //! the \\((X^TX)^{-1}\\) term is both computationally expensive and numerically unstable. An alternative approach is to use a matrix decomposition to avoid this operation. //! SmartCore uses [SVD](../../linalg/svd/index.html) and [QR](../../linalg/qr/index.html) matrix decomposition to find estimates of \\(\hat{\beta}\\). //! The QR decomposition is more computationally efficient and more numerically stable than calculating the normal equation directly, //! but does not work for all data matrices. Unlike the QR decomposition, all matrices have an SVD decomposition. //! //!
