I need help with a programming and mathematics problem involving linear regression.
Please write a Python program to implement Linear Regression using the Least Squares Method (without using libraries like sklearn).
Requirements:
Take dataset input (x and y values) from the user
Calculate slope (m) and intercept (b) manually using formulas
Display the final regression equation (y = mx + b)
Predict output for a given input value
Plot the graph (optional but preferred)
Explain each step clearly
Also explain the mathematical concept behind linear regression
Formula:
m = (n?xy ?x?y) / (n?x (?x))
b = (?y m?x) / n
Example:
Input: x = [1,2,3,4], y = [2,4,5,4]
Output: Equation of line (approx)
Please provide well-commented code and clear explanation.
