Q1. What do you mean by regression, explain the linear regression

algorithm?
Ans: Regression is a statistical method used in finance, investing, and
other disciplines that attempts to determine the strength and character of
the relationship between one
dependent variable (usually
denoted by Y) and a series of
other variables (known as
independent variables).

Linear Regression is a machine

learning algorithm based on
supervised learning. It
performs a regression task.
Regression models a target prediction value based on independent
variables.
Linear regression performs the task to predict a dependent variable
value (y) based on a given independent variable (x). So, this regression
technique finds out a linear relationship between x (input) and y(output).
Hence, the name is Linear Regression.

Q2. Compare Linear regression and logarithmic regression?

Ans:

Linear regression Logarithmic regression

Linear regression is used to predict the Logistic Regression is used to predict the
continuous dependent variable using a categorical dependent variable using a
given set of independent variables. given set of independent variables.

Linear Regression is used for solving Logistic regression is used for solving
Regression problems. Classification problems.

In Linear regression, we predict the value In logistic Regression, we predict the

of continuous variables. values of categorical variables.

In linear regression, we find the best fit In Logistic Regression, we find the
line, by which we can easily predict the S-curve by which we can classify the
output. samples.
Least square estimation method is used Maximum likelihood estimation method is
for estimation of accuracy. used for estimation of accuracy.

The output for Linear Regression must be The output of Logistic Regression must
a continuous value, such as price, age, be a Categorical value such as 0 or 1, Yes
etc. or No, etc.

In Linear regression, it is required that the In Logistic regression, it is not required

relationship between dependent variable to have the linear relationship between
and independent variable must be linear. the dependent and independent variable.

In linear regression, there may be In logistic regression, there should not be

collinearity between the independent collinearity between the independent
variables. variables.

Q3. Compare ML and DNN?

Ans: Machine Learning falls under the larger canvas of Artificial
Intelligence. Machine Learning seeks to build intelligent systems or
machines that can automatically learn and train themselves through
experience, without being explicitly programmed or requiring any human
intervention.
The structure of the human brain inspires a Neural Network. It is
essentially a Machine Learning model (more precisely, Deep Learning)
that is used in unsupervised learning. A Neural Network is a web of
interconnected entities known as nodes wherein each node is
responsible for a simple computation. In this way, a Neural Network
functions similarly to the neurons in the human brain.

Machine Learning Neural Network

Machine Learning uses advanced algorithms that Neural Network consists of an assortment of
parse data, learn from it, and use those learnings algorithms used in Machine Learning for data
to discover meaningful patterns of interest. modelling using graphs of neurons.

Machine learning models can be categorized Neural Networks can be classified into
under two types – supervised and unsupervised feed-forward, recurrent, convolutional, and
learning models. modular Neural Networks.

Since Machine Learning models are adaptive,
they are continually evolving by learning through
new sample data and experiences. Thus, the
models can identify the patterns in the data.
Here, data is the only input layer. However, even
in a simple Neural Network model, there are
multiple layers.
The first layer is the input layer, followed by a
hidden layer, and then finally an output layer.
Each layer contains one or more neurons. By
increasing the number of hidden layers within a
Neural Network model, you can increase its
computational and problem-solving abilities.
 Skills required for Machine Learning include
programming, probability and statistics, Big Data
and Hadoop, knowledge of ML frameworks, data
structures, and algorithms.
Machine Learning is applied in areas like
healthcare, retail, e-commerce (recommendation
engines), BFSI, self-driving cars, online video
streaming, IoT, and transportation and logistics,
to name a few.
Neural networks demand skills like data
modelling, Mathematics, Linear Algebra and
Graph Theory, programming, and probability
and statistics.
Neural Networks, on the other hand, are used
to solve numerous business challenges,
including sales forecasting, data validation,
customer research, risk management, speech
recognition, and character recognition, among
other things.
