Overview
In this hands-on assignment, we'll apply linear regression with gradient descent to predict the progression of diabetes in patients. The tutorial will guide you through the process of implementing linear regression with gradient descent in Python, from the ground up.
We'll first load the dataset, and train a linear regression model using scikit-learn, a Python machine learning library. We will use the results from scikit-learn as a test for whether or not our implementation is correct. Then, we'll implement linear regression using gradient descent ourselves. Let's get started!
