We are now ready to write our first program which aims at solving the above linear regression equations. We start with data we have produced ourselves, in this case normally distributed random numbers along the $x$-axis. These numbers define then the value of a function $y(x)=4+3x+N(0,1)$. Thereafter we order the $x$ values and employ our linear regression algorithm to set up the best fit.

Thereafter we order the $x$ values and employ our linear regression algorithm to set up the best fit. Here we find it useful to use the numpy function $c\_$ arrays where arrays are stacked along their last axis after being upgraded to at least two dimensions with ones post-pended to the shape. The following examples help in understanding what happens

We see that, as expected, a linear fit gives a seemingly (from the graph) good representation of the data.
