[Goal] LinearRegression: Near-Identical Python→C# Translation #580

Description

@Nucs

The README screenshot showcases a LinearRegression implementation - Python on the left, C# on the right.

This is what NumSharp was built for: enabling near-identical code translation from Python to C#.

Python vs C# LinearRegression

What This Demonstrates

The screenshot proves NumSharp's core promise: you can take NumPy code and translate it to C# with minimal changes:

Python/NumPy C#/NumSharp
np.hstack(...) np.hstack(...)
np.mean(X, 0) np.mean(X, 0)
np.std(X, 0) np.std(X, 0)
np.expand_dims(y, -1) np.expand_dims(y, -1)
np.zeros(...) np.zeros(...)
X @ self.params np.matmul(X, @params)
(y - y_pred)**2 np.power(y - y_pred, 2)

The entire LinearRegression class - constructor, fit(), score(), and predict() methods - translates almost 1-to-1.

Achievement Unlocked 🏆

This example should be preserved, tested, and maintained as a canonical demonstration of NumSharp's capabilities.

Tasks

  • Add LinearRegression example to test suite to ensure it never breaks
  • Verify all APIs used still work correctly with NumPy 2.x behavior
  • Consider adding to documentation as a "getting started" example
