The Model 1.0.1

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu,
There is no abstract art. You must always start with something. Afterward you can remove all traces of reality. ~ PICASSO

I remember a famous dialogue of one of my favorite tv shows:
"Have you ever seen an artist draw a picture? He starts with a dot, which is transformed in a straight line and then becomes a complete picture eventually!"

I don't know where the "Dot" came in...[There must've been one somewhere] but I do know we actually started from a "Straight Line". It may be the simplest thing in the huge field of Mathematics, and it may have the easiest equation i.e. y=mx+c but as we dug into it we discovered "wonders".

How simply dots and lines can lead you to the path of future is what Regression holds.

The journey was started with Simple Linear Regression, then we took a turn towards Multiple Linear Regression, which didn’t suffice so we had to touch a part of Multiple Non Linear Regression. The journey had its own ups and downs and there's still a lot to unearth but the positive side of the picture is: We were able to produce a thing which looks a little like “MODEL”!!!!
