Interpret R Linear/Multiple Regression output (lm output point by point), also with Python

because getting and cleaning data, then data wrangling is almost 60–70% of any data science or machine learning assignment.

58 unit change in BSAAMCoefficient-Std.

ErrorThe standard deviation of an estimate is called the standard error.

The standard error of the coefficient measures how precisely the model estimates the coefficient’s unknown value.

The standard error of the coefficient is always positive.

Low value of this error will be helpful for our analysis, also used for checking confidence intervalCoefficient-t valuet value = estimate/std errorhigh t value will be helpful for our analysis as this would indicate we could reject the null hypothesis, it is using to calculate p valueCoefficient Pr(>|t|)individual p value for each parameter to accept or reject null hypothesis, this is statistical estimate of x and y.

Lower the p value allow us to reject null hypothesis.

all type of errors (true positive/negative, false positive/negative) are come to picture if we wrongly analysis p value.

Asterisks mark aside p value define significance of value, lower the value have high significance# Signif.

9248, Adjusted R-squared: 0.

9123Its always between 0 to 1, high value are better Percentage of variation in the response variable that is explained by variation in the explanatory variable, this is use to calculate how well the model is doing to explain the things, when we increase no of variable then it will also increase and there are no proper limit to define how much we can increase.

We are taking dusted value in which we does not take all variables, only significant variable are considered in adjusted R squaredF-statisticF-statistic: 73.
