"""
Linear regression is the most basic type of regression commonly used for
predictive analysis. The idea is preety simple, we have a dataset and we have
a feature's associated with it. The Features should be choose very cautiously
as they determine, how much our model will be able to make future predictions.
We try to set these Feature weights, over many iterations, so that they best
fits our dataset. In this particular code, i had used a CSGO dataset (ADR vs
Rating). We try to best fit a line through dataset and estimate the parameters.
