1000 * 50 + 1 * 2000 = 52000

Sq ft * Weight 1 Beds * Weight 2

If we don’t apply feature scaling as

a separate step, we have to make

up for it in the weights

Not quite right, but in the ballpark

optimal weights

Start with

historic data

Take guess

at algorithm

and weights

+

1. Split data

2. Data cleansing and feature selection

3. Select algorithm and initial weights

4. Train the model

5. Evaluate the model

6. Try other options
