Study Notes
Linear Regression
- Simple linear regression uses one predictor variable, while multiple linear regression uses multiple predictor variables.
- The goal of a linear regression model is to predict the target variable.
Variables in Linear Regression
- The dependent variable is the output, while the independent variable is the input.
Goal of Linear Regression
- The goal of linear regression is to minimize the sum of the squared errors between predicted and actual values.
Logistic Regression
- In logistic regression, the parameter being estimated is the coefficients.
Polynomial Regression
- The degree of the polynomial in polynomial regression is the order of the polynomial function.
Bayes Rule
- Bayes rule is used to calculate the probability of an event occurring given some evidence.
- The formula for Bayes rule is P(B|A) = P(A|B) * P(B) / P(A).
Loss Functions
- The role of a loss function in a machine learning algorithm is to optimize the model parameters.
- Mean squared error is a common loss function for linear regression.
- Cross-entropy loss is a common loss function for binary classification problems.
- The goal of minimizing the loss function in machine learning is to find the best model parameters that fit the data.
