Study Notes
Regression
- Different algorithms for regression: Ordinary Least Squares, Lasso, Ridge, ElasticNet, Decision Tree, Random Forest, Linear Support Vector Regression
- Assumptions: linearity, independence, homoscedasticity, normality, absence of multicollinearity
Linear Regression
- Key concepts: regression coefficients, residuals (errors), sum of squared errors (SSE)
- Gradient descent: iterative optimization to minimize residuals by updating coefficients based on gradients of the loss function
- Commonly used metrics: R-squared, adjusted R-squared, RMSE
Logistic Regression
- A classification algorithm that predicts the probability of an outcome
- Logistic function maps values between 0 and 1, representing the probability
Decision Trees
- Recursive partitioning algorithm used for classification and regression
- Uses Gini impurity (measure of disorder) to make decisions about splitting data at each node
Gini Impurity
- Ranges from 0 (pure) to 1 (most impure)
- 0 indicates all elements belong to the same class
- 1 indicates elements are evenly distributed across classes
Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve
- Plots the true positive rate against the false positive rate
- Used to evaluate the performance of classification models
- Area under the curve (AUC) indicates the model's ability to distinguish between classes
- Threshold value controls the trade-off between false positives and false negatives
- Increasing the threshold: decreases true positives and false positives, increases true negatives and false negatives
- Decreasing the threshold: increases true positives and false positives, decreases true negatives and false negatives
