DESCRIPTION
In this class, you learn how machines “learn” linear regression from a clear statistical perspective. The focus is on understanding how we estimate parameters using least squares and how this connects to machine learning.

You start with a visual idea of fitting a line to data. Then you move step by step into the mathematical formulation. You see how sliding and rotating a line leads to the best fit. From there, the concept of minimizing squared error is introduced.

The session builds the bridge between statistics and machine learning. You understand how estimating alpha and beta in regression is the same process as what people call machine learning in this context.

Key topics covered

Intuition of line of best fit

Sliding and rotating a line

Least squares estimation

Sum of squared errors

Derivation of regression parameters

Linear in parameters concept

Machine learning vs statistical modeling

Role of correlation and assumptions

This lecture is useful for students of actuarial science, statistics, data science, and AI who want clarity instead of memorization.
