Regression—How good is the Line?
1. Linear regression aims to find the best-fitting straight line through the points.
2. If data points are closer to the line of best fit (less residual error), it means the correlation between the two variables
is higher. That means, the relationship between the two variables is strong.
3. The vertical distance between the observed responses in the dataset and the line of best fit is called the residual
error (e). The regression line is also called ‘Line of Least Squares of Errors’ because the lower the residual errors,
the better.
4. Each data point has one residual.
