Hands-on Examples


# Basic ML Example: Linear Regression
import numpy as np
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

# Generate sample data
X = np.random.rand(100, 1) * 10
y = 2 * X + 1 + np.random.randn(100, 1)

# Split data
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2)

# Train model
model = LinearRegression()
model.fit(X_train, y_train)

# Make predictions
predictions = model.predict(X_test)

This example demonstrates a simple linear regression model using scikit-learn.
