Regression

The regression first was worked out by Francis Galton and the word ‘regression’ itself means: return to the average. Essentially, the regression is nothing else but inspecting that how does the result depend on the change of the explanatory variable. Many examples can be made, like how does the traffic of an airport depend on the GDP per capita, or how does the torque of a motor depend on the engine speed, or how does the chance of getting a grade better than 2 depend on studying more in Numerical Methods class. Indeed, these are just illustrated examples, in real life the traffic of an airport is influenced also by the location, the tourism, …, in the case of the motor the quality of the fuel or the load also influences the torque, …, but in the example of studying, well, that is actually a single variable problem.

This book on Numerical Methods is part of the Transportation and Vehicle Engineering Faculty’s curriculum at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics, created under the Stipendium Hungaricum Scholarship Programme. The book demonstrates the aim of developing and using numerical methods. Instead of relying on more complicated and expensive analytical solution methods, simpler arithmetical equations are used to approximate the accurate solution with the required level of accuracy. After discussing the various sources and propagation of solution errors, the book discusses the solution of single variable equations and system of equations. Following chapters describe the two main curve fitting methods; approximation and interpolation. These chapters are followed by the numerical differentiation and integration methods, then finally the numerical solutions for ordinary and partial differentiation equations are outlined. MATLAB is one of the most popular choice today for numerical computing, with its user friendly, yet powerful computing capability. It is practically an industry standard for prototyping and new developments, and there is great value for students to be introduced to solving problems with MATLAB. Many chapters in the notes show examples implemented in MATLAB, with actual working code available to use and practice.
