The linear regression algorithm is one of the basic machine learning algorithms. Probably, you are familiar with this term in statistics. This is actually a method of statistics. And now, it is one of the most popular methods of machine learning algorithms. It is so popular because it is a very simple algorithm. Sir Francis Galton is said to have invented regression. He first used regression in statistics.
