Linear regression

This repository contains code that demonstrates how to apply linear regression to a polynomial using Scikit-learn and PyTorch. As an example, I use a projectile motion example.

Getting Started

• This project relies on python=3.12. It was not tested with different versions
• To view the entire list of required packages, see requirements.txt
• Clone the repository to your local machine
• Once you have, cd into this repo and create the virtual environment (assuming you have conda installed) via

conda env create -f environment.yml

• Enter the virtual environment with conda activate linear-regression-env
• Install the packages in the repo root directory using pip install -e . (you only need the -e option if you intend to edit the source code in linear_regression/)

Example

See my website for examples on how to use this code.
