$\hat{Y}$ represents the predicted result of the model and is used to distinguish it from the real value $Y$. The parameters to be learned by the model are: $\omega_1, \ldots, \omega_{13}, b$.
After building the model, we need to give the model an optimization goal so that the learned parameters can make the predicted value $\hat{Y}$ get as close to the true value $Y$. Here we introduce the concept of loss function ([Loss Function](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loss_function), or Cost Function. Input the target value $y_{i}$ of any data sample and the predicted value $\hat{y_{i}}$ given by a model. Then the loss function outputs a non-negative real number, which is usually used to represent model error.

For linear regression models, the most common loss function is the Mean Squared Error ([MSE](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mean_squared_error)), which is:

### Configure Program for Training
The aim of the program for training is to define a network structure of a training model. For linear regression, it is a simple fully connected layer from input to output. More complex result, such as Convolutional Neural Network and Recurrent Neural Network, will be introduced in later chapters. It must return `mean error` as the first return value in program for training, for that `mean error` will be used for BackPropagation.
