Linear regression
A very simple approach to perform a linear regression with a single neuron using Keras.
Package import
import tensorflow as tf
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.style.use('ggplot')
Random data generation
We create our samples.
x = np.linspace(0, 50, 51)
x
array([ 0., 1., 2., 3., 4., 5., 6., 7., 8., 9., 10., 11., 12.,
13., 14., 15., 16., 17., 18., 19., 20., 21., 22., 23., 24., 25.,
26., 27., 28., 29., 30., 31., 32., 33., 34., 35., 36., 37., 38.,
39., 40., 41., 42., 43., 44., 45., 46., 47., 48., 49., 50.])
And for each sample add some random noise for the $y$ value.
y = x + 10 * np.random.random((len(x)))
y
array([ 4.59333333, 10.1888939 , 3.10342612, 3.78295369, 10.57957367,

55.3635401 ])
The generated data looks like this:
plt.scatter(x, y, label='Generated data')
plt.legend()
plt.show()
Modelling
The model has just a single neuron that will model the linear equation $y = mx + b$.
The trained weight will correspond to the slope $m$ of the equation and the bias to the intersection value $b$.
model = tf.keras.Sequential()
model.add(tf.keras.layers.Dense(1, input_shape=[1]))
model.compile(loss='mean_squared_error', optimizer=tf.keras.optimizers.Adam(0.1))
model.summary()
Model: "sequential"

And we can plot the loss during the training.
plt.plot(history.history['loss'])
plt.show()
Model prediction
There are two ways to generate the adjusted model. The first one will be simlpy to use the .predict() method directly over the $x$ samples:
y_pred_model = model.predict(x)
plt.scatter(x, y, label='Generated data')
plt.plot(x, y_pred_model, label='Predicted with model', color='c')
plt.legend()
plt.show()
The second (and my favorite) way is to understand the guts inside the network and access the information to literally replicate the model.
In this case we acces the first (and only) layer:
layer = model.get_layer(index=0)
layer
<tensorflow.python.keras.layers.core.Dense at 0x7fe81910e828>
Then, we get and print the weights and biases:
weights = layer.get_weights()
weights
[array([[1.014319]], dtype=float32), array([4.2396894], dtype=float32)]
As we previously mentioned, the only weight will correspond to the slope and the bias to the intersection point. In order to replicate the linear equation we simply do:
m, b = weights[0][0], weights[1]
print(m)
print(b)
[1.014319]
[4.2396894]
y_pred_params = m * x + b
y_pred_params
array([ 4.23968935, 5.25400829, 6.26832724, 7.28264618, 8.29696512,
