Your First Linear Regression Project in Python [Part 7] | Machine Learning for Beginners

?? In this tutorial, presented by Bea Stollnitz, a Principal Cloud Advocate at Microsoft, we'll guide you through creating your first linear regression project using Python and a toy dataset from scikit-learn. This video is part of our Machine Learning for Beginners series, where we'll cover various machine learning topics and their implementation using Python code in Jupyter notebooks.

In this video, you'll learn:

✅ How to load the diabetes dataset from scikit-learn
✅ How to extract and reshape the relevant data (BMI) for our regression model
✅ How to split the data into training and testing sets
✅ How to create and train a linear regression model using scikit-learn
✅ How to make predictions and evaluate the model's performance using matplotlib

If you're new to Jupyter notebooks and virtual environments, make sure to watch our previous video, where we walk you through setting up a Jupyter notebook with a virtual environment for data science projects.
