Welcome to Week 3 Tutorial 7 of the course "Mathematics for Data Science I" by Profs. Neelesh Upadhye, Madhavan Mukund. Full Course: https://study.iitm.ac.in/ds/course_pages/BSMA1001.html Video Overview This tutorial explains how anthropologists estimate the height of female adults from the length of the femur or thigh bone. We look at a scenario where two students propose different linear models of the form H = mf + n. Using the Sum Squared Error SSE method, we compare the models to see which one gives a better fit to the data. Step by step calculations show how SSE is applied in real world problems involving data fitting and regression.
