Today, we are going to create a dataset that illustrates the relationship between years of experience and salaries. Can anyone remind us why datasets are important in supervised learning?
Datasets provide the information our models need to learn from!
Exactly! We will create a simple dataset with Python. Let’s examine how we can do that.
What information will our dataset have?
Great question! We’ll have two columns: 'Experience' which will cover years in a job, and 'Salary' which corresponds to how much someone makes. Let's see how to implement this with code.

Now that we've created our dataset, who can tell me why it’s structured this way?
The structure helps us see how one variable can change in relation to the other!
Exactly! We use the data to find trends. Let's take a look at the dataset we printed. Can someone provide the first few data points?
Sure! The first one shows 1 year of experience and a salary of 35000.
Correct! This relationship is what we will analyze next with linear regression.
Application of the Dataset

With our dataset ready, let’s discuss its application. What do you think we will do next?
We will use this data to predict salaries based on experience!
That's right! This is the starting point for our linear regression journey. We will look at how to fit a line through the data points to make predictions.
How accurate will the predictions be, do you think?
Great question! Accuracy may depend on how well the line fits our data points, which we will evaluate later.
Evaluating the Dataset

As we look at our dataset, why do you think it is crucial that our data is both labeled and well-structured?
Well-structured data helps the model learn more effectively, right?
Exactly! Having clear and relevant data points can drastically influence our model's performance in predicting outcomes.
What happens if our data is not good?
If our dataset is flawed, our predictions could be misleading. Next, we will visualize this data before training the model to ensure we fully understand its implications.
Introduction & Overview
Read a summary of the section's main ideas. Choose from Basic, Medium, or Detailed.
Quick Overview
Standard
In this section, a simple dataset is created using Python, which includes years of experience as the independent variable and corresponding salaries as the dependent variable. This dataset serves as the foundation for understanding the relationship between experience and salary using linear regression.
Detailed
Dataset Example
In this section, we illustrate the creation of a small dataset consisting of 'Years of Experience' and 'Salary'. Using Python and the pandas library, the dataset is defined as follows:
This dataset captures five data points showing a correlation between years of experience and the respective salaries, preparing us for implementing a linear regression model that can analyze this relationship. Understanding this dataset is crucial as it lays the groundwork for the following explorations in linear regression.

Let’s create a small dataset:
Years of Experience vs Salary
import pandas as pd
data = {
'Experience': [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
'Salary': [35000, 40000, 50000, 55000, 60000]
}
df = pd.DataFrame(data)
print(df)
Detailed Explanation
In this chunk, we are creating a dataset using the pandas library in Python. We define two lists: 'Experience' which holds the years of experience, and 'Salary' which holds the corresponding salaries. This data is organized into a dictionary and then converted into a pandas DataFrame, which is a two-dimensional array-like structure that is easy to manipulate and analyze. The print(df) statement at the end displays the created DataFrame.
Examples & Analogies
Think of this as setting up a spreadsheet where you want to keep track of how many years of work experience each employee has and their respective salaries. By structuring this data, we can then analyze and make predictions about salary based on experience.

Experience | Salary ------------------- 1 | 35000 2 | 40000 3 | 50000 4 | 55000 5 | 60000
Detailed Explanation
This chunk illustrates the structure of the dataset visually. Each row corresponds to an entry, with 'Experience' listed in one column and 'Salary' in another. The first row shows that a person with 1 year of experience earns 35,000, and so on. This format is crucial for data analysis, as it allows us to efficiently access and analyze data based on the ‘Experience’ and ‘Salary’ columns.
Examples & Analogies
You can visualize this dataset as a table in a restaurant that lists the dishes (Experience) and their prices (Salary). Just like you can choose a dish based on its price, we can analyze the salary based on the years of experience.

Key Concepts
-
Dataset: A collection of data points structured usually in a tabular format.
-
Independent Variable: A variable used to predict the dependent variable; for example, years of experience.
-
Dependent Variable: The outcome variable dependent on the independent variables, such as expected salary based on experience.
Examples & Real-Life Applications
See how the concepts apply in real-world scenarios to understand their practical implications.
Examples
-
The created dataset contains pairs (Years of Experience, Salary) like (1, 35000) and (5, 60000).
-
In a real-world scenario, this dataset might represent employees in a company and their corresponding salaries.

Glossary of Terms
Review the Definitions for terms.
-
Term: Dataset
Definition:
A collection of data points that is usually organized into rows and columns.
-
Term: Independent Variable
Definition:
A variable that stands alone and isn’t changed by other variables in your experiment, such as 'Years of Experience' in our case.
-
Term: Dependent Variable
Definition:
A variable that depends on other factors; for example, 'Salary' which depends on 'Years of Experience'.
