Try this Jupyter Notebook Modeling Example to learn how you can fit a function to a set of observations. We will formulate this regression problem as a linear programming problem using the Gurobi Python API and then solve it with the Gurobi Optimizer.
This model is example 11 from the fifth edition of Model Building in Mathematical Programming, by H. Paul Williams on pages 266 and 319-320.
This modeling example is at the beginner level, where we assume that you know Python and that you have some knowledge about building mathematical optimization models. The reader should also consult the documentation of the Gurobi Python API.
Click on the button below to access the example in Google Colab, which is a free, online Jupyter Notebook environment that allows you to write and execute Python code through your browser.Â
