Chapter 3 Linear RegressionOnce we ve acquired data with multiple variables, one very important question is how thevariables are related. For example, we could ask for the relationship between people s weightsand heights, or study time and test scores, or two animal a setof techniques for estimating relationships, and we ll focus on them for the next two this Chapter , we ll focus on finding one of the simplest type of relationship: linear. Thisprocess is unsurprisingly calledlinear regression, and it has many applications. For exam-ple, we can relate the force for stretching a spring and the distance that the spring stretches(Hooke s law, shown in Figure ), or explain how many transistors the semiconductorindustry can pack into a circuit over time (Moore s law, shown in Figure ).
