→Task description has too many equations and not enough guidance

Line 41:
The Python example solves a different problem, namely fitting a quadratic polynomial in one variable to a set of points in the plane. What is asked for is a way of fitting a _linear_ poynomial in _several_ variables to a set of points in some dimension. I think np.linalg.lstsq() , a function from numpy , is what is needed.
==Task description has too many equations and not enough guidance==
Could someone at least try and mitigate the need to at least think you know what multiple regression is, before you can make sense of the page?
The task doesn't ask for an example computation, and the wikipedia page on OLS is impenetrable to the good programmer/lesser mathematician. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] 07:13, 2 April 2011 (UTC)
