Linear Growth Model

I used a simple linear approach to show how my skills have grown steadily over time. By linking years of experience to the skills I’ve gained, it helps me see where I stand today and how my career has progressed overall.A linear model assumes a constant rate of growth in a metric (e.g., number of skills) over time. Equation: \(Y=\beta _{0}+\beta _{1}\cdot X\). In R: y ~ x where y is the dependent variable (e.g., skill level) and x is the independent variable (years of experience).

years_experience <- 1:25 skills_gained <- c(2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 28)
