Study Notes
Linear Regression
- Linear Regression aims to find a real-valued function that approximates another function using weights and input data.
- It is used to find the best fit line for a given set of data points.
- The model uses the input data (x) to generate an output (y) that is a linear combination of the input data.
Input Representation
- The input data can be in a variety of formats like individual values or vectors, depending on the problem.
Linear Classification
- Uses a linear function to generate an output of +1 or -1.
- The classification function, h(x), is represented as h(x) = wTx, where w is the vector of weights and x is the input data vector.
Non-Linear Transformation
- The function f(x) can sometimes not be represented linearly.
- To solve this, non-linear transformations like adding polynomial terms can be used.
- The function Φ transforms the input data (x) into a higher-dimensional space, creating a more complex relationship for better results.
Error Minimization
- The error between the model's output (h(x)) and the actual output (f(x)) is measured using the squared error.
- The in-sample error aims to minimize the error on the training data set.
- The error can be minimized by finding the best set of weights w for the linear model.
Linear Model Limitations
- Linear models can't handle complex relationships in the input data.
- They can't represent non-linear functions very well.
- This can result in suboptimal results for datasets with complex patterns.
