Python tutorial: Train a linear regression model with SQL machine learning

Applies to: SQL Server 2017 (14.x) and later Azure SQL Managed Instance

In part three of this four-part tutorial series, you'll train a linear regression model in Python. In the next part of this series, you'll deploy this model in a SQL Server database with Machine Learning Services or on SQL Server 2019 Big Data Clusters.

In part three of this four-part tutorial series, you'll train a linear regression model in Python. In the next part of this series, you'll deploy this model in a SQL Server database with Machine Learning Services.

In part three of this four-part tutorial series, you'll train a linear regression model in Python. In the next part of this series, you'll deploy this model in an Azure SQL Managed Instance database with Machine Learning Services.

In this article, you'll learn how to:

  • Train a linear regression model
  • Make predictions using the linear regression model

In part one, you learned how to restore the sample database.

In part two, you learned how to load the data from a database into a Python data frame, and prepare the data in Python.

In part four, you'll learn how to store the model in a database, and then create stored procedures from the Python scripts you developed in parts two and three. The stored procedures will run in on the server to make predictions based on new data.

Prerequisites

Train the model

In order to predict, you have to find a function (model) that best describes the dependency between the variables in our dataset. This called training the model. The training dataset will be a subset of the entire dataset from the pandas data frame df that you created in part two of this series.

You will train model lin_model using a linear regression algorithm.


from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression
from sklearn.metrics import mean_squared_error

# Store the variable we'll be predicting on.
target = "Rentalcount"

# Generate the training set.  Set random_state to be able to replicate results.
train = df.sample(frac=0.8, random_state=1)

# Select anything not in the training set and put it in the testing set.
test = df.loc[~df.index.isin(train.index)]

# Print the shapes of both sets.
print("Training set shape:", train.shape)
print("Testing set shape:", test.shape)

# Initialize the model class.
lin_model = LinearRegression()

# Fit the model to the training data.
lin_model.fit(train[columns], train[target])

You should see results similar to the following.

Training set shape: (362, 7)
Testing set shape: (91, 7)

Make predictions

Use a predict function to predict the rental counts using the model lin_model.

# Generate our predictions for the test set.
lin_predictions = lin_model.predict(test[columns])
print("Predictions:", lin_predictions)

# Compute error between our test predictions and the actual values.
lin_mse = mean_squared_error(lin_predictions, test[target])
print("Computed error:", lin_mse)

You should see results similar to the following.
