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
