Dr. James McCaffrey from Microsoft Research presents a complete end-to-end demonstration of linear regression with two-way interactions between predictor variables. Compared to standard linear regression, which predicts a single numeric value based only on a linear combination of predictor values, linear regression with interactions can handle more complex data while retaining a high level of model interpretability.
