📊 Understanding Learning Curves

Learning curves can help you understand how your model improves as you provide more data. They illustrate the performance of your model on training data and testing data. In this project, you’ll see plots that show:

• Training Error: How well the model performs on the training set.
• Validation Error: How accurately the model generalizes to new data.

These plots enable you to assess whether your model is underfitting or overfitting.

📚 Topics Covered

This project includes several important topics in machine learning, including:

• California Housing dataset
• Linear regression
• Data visualization with matplotlib
• Model evaluation with train-test split

❓ FAQs

What is a learning curve?

A learning curve is a graph that shows how a model’s performance changes with varying amounts of training data. It helps you understand if the model is learning correctly.

Can I use this project for other datasets?

Yes, you can adapt the code to work with different datasets. Just make sure the data is formatted similarly to the California Housing dataset.

Do I need programming knowledge to use this project?

No, this project is designed for beginners. Follow the instructions in the Jupyter Notebook for guidance.
