    Introduction to Machine Learning: Linear Models

    • Logistic regression, support vector machines (SVMs), and perceptions are machine learning algorithms.
    • Neural networks can approximate universal functions.
    • Training a network uses loss functions, backpropagation, and stochastic gradient descent.

    Linear Models

    • Linear models are foundational to more complex machine learning algorithms, including deep neural networks.
    • Linear regression predicts a target variable using a linear function of input features.
    • Logistic regression uses a sigmoid function to transform linear regression output into probabilities, used for classification tasks.
    • Linear models have practical applications in industry.

    Types of Linear Models

    • Linear regression and logistic regression are covered in this article.
    • Linear regression models the relationship between independent and dependent variables (using a linear function).
    • Logistic regression extends linear regression to predict probabilities (using a sigmoid function).

    Support Vector Machines (SVMs)

    • SVMs are powerful machine learning algorithms for classification, regression, and outlier detection.
    • SVMs focus on finding the optimal hyperplane that maximizes the margin between different data classes.
    • Support vectors are the closest data points to the hyperplane.
    • The dimension of the hyperplane depends on the number of features.
