Linear Prediction

Linear prediction is a mathematical technique used to forecast future values based on past data. It assumes that the relationship between the current and past values can be expressed with a straight line. For instance, if you know the temperature tends to increase steadily during the day, you can predict the afternoon temperature by looking at morning readings. In various fields, such as economics or signal processing, linear prediction helps make informed decisions by estimating unknown outcomes based on established trends and patterns from historical data.
