Study Notes
Supervised learning
- Supervised learning focuses on predicting output values (y) based on input variables (x)
- A training example is a pair (x, y) where x is the input and y is the output.
- A training set is a collection of m training examples.
- The goal is to learn a hypothesis function h(x) that accurately predicts y given x.
- Regression problems involve continuous output values (e.g., predicting house prices).
- Classification problems involve discrete output values (e.g., classifying email as spam or not spam).
Linear Regression
- Linear Regression is a parametric learning algorithm that uses a fixed number of parameters to represent the hypothesis.
- In the dataset example, x represents features like living area and number of bedrooms.
- The hypothesis is a linear function of the input features: h(x) = θ0 + θ1x1 + θ2x2 + ... where θi are parameters to be learned.
Locally Weighted Linear Regression
- Locally weighted linear regression uses a non-parametric approach, the weight of a training example depends on its distance to the query point.
- The weight function is defined by a bandwidth parameter Ï„ controlling how quickly the weight falls off.
- It requires storing the whole training set for future predictions.
Classification
- Classification problems aim to predict a discrete output variable.
- Binary classification involves two classes, often labeled 0 and 1.
- The goal is to find a hypothesis function h(x) that assigns a class label to input x.
Logistic Regression
- Logistic Regression is used for binary classification.
- It introduces a sigmoid function (g(z) = 1/(1 + exp(-z))) to map the linear combination of features (θ0 + θ1x1 + θ2x2 + ...) to a value between 0 and 1 representing the probability of belonging to the positive class.
- The hypothesis is: h(x) = g(θ0 + θ1x1 + θ2x2 + ...).
