Predict mathematical function

[Lombiz]

Hello everyone,

I've a great idea. I just worked my way through linear regression and everything works just fine.
Now I want to go another step, if I can predict y for specific X, could I also get a mathematical function like f(x)= m * x + n
Is that possible?

Thanks

Hey there!

That is a great idea.

However, the neural network itself is the function you're trying to predict.

For example, if you use a neural network to predict y using X, the neural network (and the parameters inside it) itself is the f(x).

I'd check out this MIT lecture for more: https://youtu.be/5tvmMX8r_OM

Am I understanding your question correctly?

If not, do you have an example of the inputs/outputs you'd like to get?

Yea, you got it right. That exactly was my question. I also get your point. In fact, I already understood it when you introduced the playground.
But since my idea didn't stop there, I wanted to generalize it for different function types. So it will be a bigger project.
I will continue with the fundamentals first.

Thank you.
