Study Notes
Multivariate Linear Regression
- Multivariate linear regression uses multiple features to predict a target variable.
- The hypothesis function is a linear combination of the features, with weights represented by parameters.
- The cost function measures the difference between predicted and actual target values, aiming to minimize it.
Gradient Descent for Multiple Variables
- Updates the parameters simultaneously for each feature to minimize the cost function.
- It uses the partial derivatives of the cost function with respect to each parameter.
Feature Scaling
- Feature scaling ensures features are on a similar scale, improving the efficiency of gradient descent.
- Mean normalization centers each features around zero by subtracting the mean of the feature and dividing by the range.
- Avoid applying mean normalization to binary features.
Choosing the Learning Rate
- A small learning rate can lead to slow convergence, while a large learning rate can result in oscillations and non-convergence.
- Monitor the cost function decrease over iterations to determine a suitable learning rate.
- If the cost function does not decrease over iterations, reduce the learning rate.
Polynomial Regression
- Uses polynomial functions of features to create a more flexible model.
- Can capture non-linear relationships between features and target variables.
Normal Equation
- An analytical solution to linear regression that directly solves for the parameters.
- Does not require iterative updates like gradient descent.
- Can be slow for very large numbers of features.
Non-Invertibility in the Normal Equation
- Occurs when the feature matrix is singular or degenerate.
- Caused by redundant features (linearly dependent) or too many features compared to training examples.
- Can be addressed by deleting features or using regularization techniques.
