# Regression models for machine learning ## Regional topic: Regression models for pumpkin prices in North America 🎃 In North America, pumpkins are often carved into spooky faces for Halloween. Let's explore more about these intriguing vegetables!  > Photo by Beth Teutschmann on Unsplash ## What you will learn [](https://youtu.be/5QnJtDad4iQ "Regression Introduction video - Click to Watch!") > 🎥 Click the image above for a quick introduction video to this lesson The lessons in this section focus on types of regression within the context of machine learning. Regression models are useful for identifying the _relationship_ between variables. These models can predict values like length, temperature, or age, helping to uncover patterns and relationships as they analyze data points. In this series of lessons, you'll learn the differences between linear and logistic regression, and understand when to use one over the other.

In this set of lessons, you'll prepare to start machine learning tasks, including setting up Visual Studio Code to manage notebooks, a common environment for data scientists. You'll explore Scikit-learn, a machine learning library, and build your first models, focusing on regression models in this chapter. > There are helpful low-code tools available to assist you in learning about regression models.
