Exercise

Flight duration model: Just distance

In this exercise you'll build a regression model to predict flight duration (the duration column).

For the moment you'll keep the model simple, including only the distance of the flight (the km column) as a predictor.

The data are in flights. The first few records are displayed in the terminal. These data have also been split into training and testing sets and are available as flights_train and flights_test.

Instructions

100 XP
  • Create a linear regression object. Specify the name of the label column. Fit it to the training data.
  • Make predictions on the testing data.
  • Create a regression evaluator object and use it to evaluate RMSE on the testing data.
