Study Notes
Regression Problems
- Type of learning task: Regression
- Performance measure commonly used: RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error)
- RMSE stands for: Root Mean Squared Error
- X represents: Input feature(s)
Error Measures
- MAE stands for: Mean Absolute Error
- Consider MAE over RMSE: when outliers are frequent and variability in errors is high
- RMSE generally preferred over MAE: when outliers are rare, as it penalizes large errors more heavily
Linear Regression
- MSE stands for: Mean Squared Error
- Parameters updated iteratively using gradient descent method: Weights ( coefficients ) and bias
- Technique used to optimize cost function: Gradient Descent
- Purpose of learning algorithm: To minimize the cost function and make predictions
Loss Functions
- MAE used: when outliers are frequent and variability in errors is high
- Opt for MAE over MSE: when outliers are frequent and variability in errors is high
- MSE used: when outliers are rare, as it penalizes large errors more heavily
Binary Classification
- Numerical digits expressed: as 0 and 1
- Cross-Entropy measures: the difference between predicted probabilities and true labels
- Binary Cross-Entropy Loss function represents: the difference between predicted probabilities and true labels
Model Evaluation
- Cross-Validation beneficial: as it helps prevent overfitting and improves model generalization
- Purpose of K-fold Cross-Validation: to evaluate model performance by training and testing on different subsets of data

Description
Learn about the Mean Squared Error (MSE) cost function used in Linear Regression to optimize prediction error. Understand how the MSE is calculated using the simple linear equation y=mx+b and how the values of beta0 and beta1 are updated using the MSE function.
