Regression is one of the most fundamental and influential techniques in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science, and Predictive Analytics. From forecasting stock prices and predicting disease risks to estimating customer behavior, autonomous system control, and intelligent recommendation engines, regression models form the mathematical foundation of intelligent decision-making.

Linear and Nonlinear Regression in Artificial Intelligence: Mathematical Foundations, Regularization Techniques & Predictive Modeling (Vol-I) is a comprehensive and application-oriented textbook that systematically explores the theory, mathematics, algorithms, and practical implementation of regression models used in modern AI systems.

Unlike traditional regression books that emphasize only statistical theory, this volume integrates mathematical foundations, optimization techniques, machine learning algorithms, explainable AI, probabilistic modeling, Python programming, and real-world case studies into a unified learning experience.

Beginning with the mathematical principles of vectors, matrices, probability, optimization, and statistics, the book gradually introduces linear regression, regularized models, nonlinear regression, generalized linear models, ensemble methods, Bayesian approaches, neural network regression, and scalable AI systems. Each concept is supported with intuitive explanations, mathematical derivations, Python implementations, and practical AI applications.

Designed for students, educators, researchers, and industry professionals, this book serves as both an academic textbook and a practical reference for predictive modeling using Artificial Intelligence.

Why This Book?

Regression lies at the heart of predictive Artificial Intelligence. Yet, many resources either emphasize mathematical statistics without practical implementation or focus only on machine learning libraries without explaining the underlying mathematical principles.

Linear and Nonlinear Regression in Artificial Intelligence (Vol-I) bridges this gap by integrating mathematical foundations, optimization theory, statistical modeling, machine learning algorithms, Python programming, and real-world AI applications into a single comprehensive resource.

From classical linear regression to advanced Bayesian methods, Gaussian Processes, ensemble learning, neural networks, and explainable AI, this book provides readers with both theoretical understanding and practical implementation skills required for modern predictive modeling.

Whether you are preparing for university examinations, research, technical interviews, AI projects, or professional machine learning careers, this book serves as a complete guide to regression techniques in Artificial Intelligence.
