Study Notes

Matrix Notation and Transpose

A matrix with three rows and two columns can be denoted as ( X = \begin{bmatrix} x_{11} & x_{12} \ x_{21} & x_{22} \ x_{31} & x_{32} \end{bmatrix} ).
The entry ( x_{ij} ) indicates the element in the ( i )-th row and ( j )-th column.
The transpose of matrix ( X ), denoted ( X^\top ), switches rows with columns: ( X^\top = \begin{bmatrix} 4.1 & -2.6 & 3.5 \ -5.6 & 7.9 & 1.8 \end{bmatrix} ).

Matrix Multiplication

Matrix ( A ) with dimensions ( p \times q ) and matrix ( B ) with dimensions ( t \times s ) can be multiplied if ( q = t ).
The product ( C = AB ) results in a matrix with dimensions ( p \times s ) and entries determined by ( c_{ij} = \sum_{k=1}^{q} a_{ik}b_{kj} ).

Transpose of a Product

For a vector ( w ) of dimensions ( d \times 1 ) and matrix ( X ) of dimensions ( n \times d ), the transpose of the product ( (Xw)^\top ) is given by ( (Xw)^\top = w^\top X^\top ).
This property applies to multiple matrix products: ( (ABCD)^\top = D^\top C^\top B^\top A^\top ).

Inner Product and Identity Matrix

The inner product of two vectors results in a scalar.
The identity matrix ( I_n ) has ones on the diagonal and zeros elsewhere, e.g., ( I_3 = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 0 \ 0 & 1 & 0 \ 0 & 0 & 1 \end{bmatrix} ).
The inverse ( A^{-1} ) of a matrix ( A ) satisfies ( AA^{-1} = A^{-1}A = I ).

Linear Regression Model

A linear model for predicting ( y ) (time in seconds) based on variable ( x ) (year) is ( f(x, w) = w_0 + w_1 x ).
Parameters ( w ) include the intercept ( w_0 ) and slope ( w_1 ).

Regression Model Structure

The regression function can be expressed as a linear combination: ( f(x, w) = w_0 + w_1 x_1 + ... + w_D x_D ).
This can also be represented vectorially as ( f(x, w) = w^\top x ).

Gaussian Distribution

The Gaussian probability density function (pdf) is expressed as ( p(y) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2\pi\sigma^2}} \exp\left(-\frac{(y - \mu)^2}{2\sigma^2}\right) ).
Requires parameters ( \mu ) (mean) and ( \sigma^2 ) (variance).

Normal Equation in Linear Regression

To find ( w ) that maximizes the log-likelihood ( LL(w, \sigma^2) ), set its gradient to zero.
The normal equation is ( X^\top Xw = X^\top y ), resulting in ( w^* = (X^\top X)^{-1} X^\top y ).

Bernoulli Distribution

The Bernoulli distribution describes a random variable ( Y ) taking values 0 or 1:
- ( p(Y = y) = \mu^y(1 - \mu)^{1-y} ) for ( \mu = P(Y = 1) ).

Logistic Regression

In logistic regression, the target feature ( y ) has a Bernoulli distribution: ( p(y|x) = Ber(y|\mu(x)) ).
The probability ( \mu(x) ) is defined by the logistic function:
- ( \mu(x) = \frac{1}{1 + \exp(-w^\top x)} ).

Logistic Sigmoid Function

The logistic sigmoid function ( \sigma(z) = \frac{1}{1 + \exp(-z)} ) maps any real-valued number to the range (0, 1).
Behavior of ( \sigma(z) ):
- As ( z \to \infty ), ( \sigma(z) \to 1 ).
- As ( z \to -\infty ), ( \sigma(z) \to 0 ).
- At ( z = 0 ), ( \sigma(z) = 0.5 ).
