y = a + bx

Example:

A model to predict the selling

price (y) of a home using simple

linear regression algorithm

PSOGEN-1014 13


Read the data

PSOGEN-1014 14


Prepare the data

PSOGEN-1014 15


Correlate the data to find our x

PSOGEN-1014 16


Now we have x, we still need a and b

PSOGEN-1014 17


Train the model (derive a and b) and test

PSOGEN-1014 18


Visualize the result (for fun and confirmation)

PSOGEN-1014 19


Lots of dots becomes blue line, because mathematics!

PSOGEN-1014 20


AI/ML is not magic, it is just fast!

ML finds patterns and

derives conclusions at speeds

humans aren’t capable of.

About this life preserver … umm, what exactly is AIOps?


AIOps augments technology teams by leveraging AI/ML for real-time anomaly detection and insights, identifying root causes and automating resolutions.
