C Program to implement Linear regression algorithm.

Linear Regression  is the predicting the value of one scalar variable(y) using the explanatory another variable(x). Linear regression  is represented by the equation Y = a + bX, where X is the explanatory variable and Y is the scalar variable. The slope of the line is b, and a is the intercept. For linear list square modeling, Linear regression is very helpful. Read more about C Programming Language.
