How to Predict Future Values Using Gathered Information in Python

In this example we will show how to predict future values using the information we have gathered in Python.

Source Code

from scipy import stats

x = [14.4, 16.5, 11.9, 15.4, 18.6, 22.2, 19.5, 25.3, 23.4, 18.2, 22.6, 17.4]
y = [225, 334, 192, 339, 411, 530, 418, 623, 551, 430, 452, 416]

slope, intercept, r_value, p_value, std_err = stats.linregress(x, y)

def myfunc(x):
    return intercept + slope * x

sale = myfunc(20)
print(sale)

Output:
