What is the main goal of using SLR in the process of system modeling or automation development?

SLR (Simple Linear Regression) is used in the development of modeling or automation systems to build a simple linear model of the dependence between variables. The main goals of using SLR:

• Forecasting and trend analysis — allows predicting the value of the dependent variable based on the independent variable.
• Simplification of complex systems — modeling the behavior of a system using linear dependence for understanding and optimization.
• Decision support — based on the obtained model, informed conclusions can be made and processes automated.

For example, in an automation system, SLR can be used to forecast server load depending on the time of day and automatically scale resources.
