Which variables do you suggest
might be useful in predicting mpg?
• Based on your bivariate analysis, give your answer to the above
question here. What is your reasoning for each of the selected
variables?
• Predicting the credit card balance by using balance variables.
• The balance variable is most useful to predict the credit card balance.

• Using the variables you suggested for building a regression model to
predict Balance, run four different regression models in ML Studio.
• For each model, give the “Train Model” block output and the
“Evaluate Model” block output. Put two models on each slide.

• Which is the best model and why do you recommend this one?
Based on ML studio simulation, the linear regression model is best model compared to
other model. The Linear regression is great when the relationship to between covariates and
response variable is known to be linear. It focus from statistical modeling and to data analysis and
pre-processing. It is great for learning to play with data without worrying about the intricate details
of the model.
• Write out the regression equation of the model you selected.
Linear regression of the model question is Y = a + bX, where X is the explanatory variable and Y is the
dependent variable.
