Linear Regression using Gradient Descent in C

A from scratch implementation of Linear Regression algorithm with 2 fitting parameters. The parameters are optimised using Gradient Descent algorithm. The implementation also utilises GNUplot to plot the data and cost over epochs.

Getting Started

• Clone the repo into your folder

• Experiment with values of EPOCH, LEARNING_RATE and default theta values in main.cpp

• Execute make command to compile into an executable

  make compile

• Run the executable

  ./linear_reg

• Clean for a rebuild

  make clean
