Insurance cost prediction using linear regression
In this assignment we're going to use information like a person's age, sex, BMI, no. of children and smoking habit to predict the price of yearly medical bills. This kind of model is useful for insurance companies to determine the yearly insurance premium for a person. The dataset for this problem is taken from: https://www.kaggle.com/mirichoi0218/insurance
We will create a model with the following steps:
- Download and explore the dataset
- Prepare the dataset for training
- Create a linear regression model
- Train the model to fit the data
- Make predictions using the trained model
This assignment builds upon the concepts from the first 2 lectures. It will help to review these Jupyter notebooks:
- PyTorch basics: https://jovian.ml/aakashns/01-pytorch-basics
- Linear Regression: https://jovian.ml/aakashns/02-linear-regression
- Logistic Regression: https://jovian.ml/aakashns/03-logistic-regression
- Linear regression (minimal): https://jovian.ml/aakashns/housing-linear-minimal
- Logistic regression (minimal): https://jovian.ml/aakashns/mnist-logistic-minimal
As you go through this notebook, you will find a ??? in certain places. Your job is to replace the ??? with appropriate code or values, to ensure that the notebook runs properly end-to-end . In some cases, you'll be required to choose some hyperparameters (learning rate, batch size etc.). Try to experiment with the hypeparameters to get the lowest loss.

or from the matplotlib source distribution
