Linear Regression

Solve the linear regression problem using gradient descent.

Environment

ruby: 2.2.2

rspec: 3.4.2

Sample run

The sample data are retrieved from prices of ClementiWoods Condo

Num of bedrooms	Num of bathrooms	Area(1000s sqf)	Price(millions)
2	2	1.055	1.2
2	2	1.173	1.35
1	1	0.56	0.83
1	1	0.667	0.81
3	3	1.561	1.63
4	4	2.874	2.98

Now I want to predict the price of a house with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and area of 1076 sqf.

Let's run sample_run.rb

Initial cost function: 1.3454
Optimizing params"
Optimized cost function: 0.0015818826960609113
The predicted price for a house with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and area of 1,389
square feets is 1.54 millions."
