Say a user could enter project data into my software. Each project has 2 variables "size" and "work" and they're related but the relationship is not known. Is there a way to programmatically determine the relationship between the variables based on previous data and forecast the amount of work provided if only given the size of the project in the future?
For Example, say the user had manually entered the following projects.
- Project 1 - Size:1, Work: 4
- Project 2 - Size:2, Work: 7
- Project 3 - Size:3, Work: 10
- Project 4 - Size:4, Work: x
What should I look into to be able to programmatically determine, that Work = Size*3+1 and therefor be able to say that x=13?
