In linear regression, what is the role of the loss function?
To evaluate the accuracy of the model
Why does the loss function in linear regression not reach zero?
Inherent noise in the data
What do parameters represent in linear regression models?
The coefficients of the model
How does the functional form of a linear regression model differ from other machine learning models?
It is a linear relationship between input and output
What is the objective when solving a linear regression problem?
Minimize the error between predicted and actual values
Why is gradient descent often used to solve the parameter optimization problem in linear regression?
To find optimal parameter values that minimize the loss
What is the purpose of a loss function in a model?
To evaluate the model's performance
In the context of linear regression, what does MSE stand for?
Mean Squared Error
What does a lower MSE value indicate about a model's predictions?
The model has better output predictions on average
How does the number of examples in the training set (m) relate to the loss function?
It impacts how the loss function evaluates the model's performance
What is the main objective when minimizing a loss function in linear regression?
To reduce errors in predicting output values
In linear regression, what is the relationship between the model and the loss function?
The loss is a measure of how well the model is performing
