Study Notes

Regression Analysis

Aims to solve a Machine Learning problem by approximating a real-valued function 𝑓 𝑥 ∈ ℝ (i.e., predicting a continuous output)
Examples of regression tasks: house prices prediction, weather forecasting, stocks market prediction, spread of viral disease, estimating salaries

Simple Linear Regression Model

Only one independent variable, X
Relationship between X and Y is described by a linear function 𝒇(𝒙) = 𝒚
Changes in Y are assumed to be related to changes in X
Equation: Yi = β0 + β1Xi + ε i
Intercept = β0, Slope = β1

Predication Line in Regression Equation

Estimated regression line provides an estimate of the population regression line
b0 is the estimated mean value of Y when the value of X is zero
b1 is the estimated change in the mean value of Y as a result of a one-unit increase in X

The Least Square Method

b0 and b1 are obtained by finding the values that minimize the sum of the squared differences between 𝑌 (real value) and 𝑌෠ (estimated value)

Finding Best Weights/Coefficients

Goal is to find the best coefficients to predicate the actual value
Optimization algorithm is applied to find the best values of these coefficients by finding the local minima of estimated errors
Example of optimization algorithm: Gradient Descent (GD)

Regression Models: Other Types

Multiple Linear Regression: estimates the relationship between a quantitative dependent variable and two or more independent variables
Logistic Regression: used to predict dependent variable (as categorical or class) using a given set of independent feature

Multiple Linear Regression

Hypothesis function of linear regression: 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑤0 + 𝑤1 𝑎1 𝑥 + 𝑤2 𝑎2 𝑥 + ⋯ + 𝑤𝑛 𝑎𝑛 𝑥

Locally Weighted Regression

Modify the error criterion E to emphasize fitting the local training examples
Minimize the squared error over just the k nearest neighbors
Combine 1 and 2 for a good approximation

Logistic Regression

Used to predict dependent variable (as categorical or class) using a given set of independent feature
Equation: 𝒉𝜽 = 𝝈(𝜽𝑻 𝒙)
Model: 𝝈 𝒛 = 1+𝑒 −𝒛

Optimizing Logistic Regression

Use Maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) method for estimation of accuracy (finding best parameters/weights for the logistic regression model)
