ML | sklearn.linear_model.LinearRegression() in Python

Last Updated : 21 Mar, 2024

This is Ordinary least squares Linear Regression from sklearn.linear_module. Syntax : sklearn.linear_model.LinearRegression(fit_intercept=True, normalize=False, copy_X=True, n_jobs=1): Parameters :

fit_intercept : [boolean, Default is True] Whether to calculate intercept for the model. normalize : [boolean, Default is False] Normalisation before regression. copy_X : [boolean, Default is True] If true, make a copy of X else overwritten. n_jobs : [int, Default is 1] If -1 all CPU's are used. This will speedup the working for large datasets to process.

In the given dataset, R&D Spend, Administration Cost and Marketing Spend of 50 Companies are given along with the profit earned. The target is to prepare ML model which can predict the profit value of a company if the value of its R&D Spend, Administration Cost and Marketing Spend are given.

. Code: Use of Linear Regression to predict the Companies Profit
