- "x, y may not be relevant"
- you might know intuitively
- data is correlated

- Problem with feature transform: it's hard to get the patten if we don't know the actual function
Linear regression
- We have
- Idea: guess see how close \hat{y} match
- Define "loss" function:
Linear function & Loss function
Linear
- a function is linear if

- function that measures model fit
- e.g., distance f(n) between model prediction and the label
