I am trying to generate a dataset which involves 1 feature variable(X) and 1 target variable(y).

The feature variable represents values on the X-axis on the graph and target variable represents values on Y-axis.

Datatype of X: integer

Datatype of y: floating point

I have N such graphs for same values of X, but a slight variation in y values.

One of the graph is as follows:

enter image description here

I want to fit the data into a regression.

Now, my question is how to generate the dataset for this use case. Should I include values from all graphs into a single dataset? But, in this case, for every unique value of X, I will have N rows with same value of X and a different value of y?

I am doubtful about this approach.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

I'm not sure what's the context of your question but there's no problem with the approach you've outlined. Different values of y for the same unique value of x (over different rows, such that for example you have: x = {1, 1}, y = {1, 2}) are a natural result of the noise usually assumed in the model you fit (e.g. $y = x + \epsilon$).

Hope this helps.

  • $\begingroup$ Hi Iyar, added the context. Can u judge it now. As, a slight variation in y values for same value of X cannot be considered noise in this case $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ Hi Iyar Lin! It can't be considered as noise as the multiple entries got generated due to different genuine graphs as described in the use case $\endgroup$
