In this chapter, you will learn how to use the preceding APIs to solve problems using several linear regression methods and plot the result.

FsPlot is a charting library for F# to generate charts using industry standard JavaScript charting APIs, such as HighCharts. FsPlot provides a nice interface to generate several combination charts, which is very useful when trying to understand the linear regression model. You can find more details about the API at its homepage at https://github.com/TahaHachana/FsPlot.
