What is the P-Value? Hypothesis Testing and its Ties to Machine Learning

ODSC - Open Data Science

Some data points only have a 0.0005976% chance to have arranged themselves randomly around a line. Hypothesis Testing and Machine Learning Now here’s the kicker: when you do machine learning (including that simple linear regression above), you are in fact searching for hypotheses that identify relationships in the data.
