Estimate the intercept

Linear regression models always fit a straight line to the data. Straight lines are defined by two properties: their intercept and their slope.

Here, you can see a scatter plot of house price per area versus number of nearby convenience stores, using the Taiwan real estate dataset.

Click the plot, then estimate the intercept of the linear regression trend line.

You’ll learn the basics of this popular statistical model, what regression is, and how linear and logistic regressions differ. You’ll then learn how to fit simple linear regression models with numeric and categorical explanatory variables, and how to describe the relationship between the response and explanatory variables using model coefficients.
