Study Notes
Regularization
- Regularization adds additional constraints to the solution to avoid overfitting and ensure the solution is more generalizable.
Linear Regression
- Ridge Regression: a type of regularized linear regression.
- Lasso Regression: a type of regularized linear regression.
Generalized Linear Models (GLM)
- GLMs generalize linear models to handle nonlinear data by using suitable transformations to convert nonlinear relationships into linear ones.
Regularized Linear Regression
- Regularization is used to solve the overfitting problem that occurs when the error distribution is not Gaussian or the optimization problem is highly sensitive to noise in the data.
Regularization Techniques
- The main idea of regularization is to modify the problem statement with additional constraints to simplify the solution.
- Regularization helps to avoid overfitting by adding constraints to the solution.
Logistic Regression
- Logistic Regression is a type of regression analysis used for predicting a binary outcome.
k-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) Algorithm
- KNN is a simple algorithm in machine learning that is not exactly a linear method.
- KNN can be used as a classifier or regressor and does not assume any specific equation or functional relationship between input and output.
- Definition of KNN: keep all training data in memory and find the nearest neighbor for each test point to predict the output.
Classification and Regression using KNN
- KNN can be applied to both classification and regression problems without changing the architecture.
- KNN can easily handle nonlinear relationships, unlike linear methods.
