    Study Notes

    Supervised Learning

    • Supervised learning encompasses training models on labeled datasets, which include both input features and corresponding output labels.
    • In supervised learning, the model learns to predict a target output based on input features.
    • During training, data is typically split into 80% for training and 20% for testing.
    • The model learns from the training data, recognizing patterns in the relationship between input features and output labels.
    • After training, the model is tested on unseen data to evaluate its ability to predict new outputs.

    Types of Supervised Learning Algorithms

    • Supervised learning algorithms are categorized into regression and classification tasks.
    • Regression focuses on predicting continuous numerical values, such as house prices, based on input features.
    • Classification predicts a categorical output variable, such as whether a customer will buy a product (true/false).

    Regression

    • Regression analyzes the relationship between independent variables and a dependent variable, aiming to model the relationship between them.
    • Common regression algorithms include Linear Regression, Decision Trees, and Neural Networks.

    Linear Regression

    • Linear regression models the linear relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables.
    • It determines the best-fit line that minimizes the error between predicted and actual values.
    • The slope of the line represents the change in the dependent variable for a unit change in the independent variable.

    Types of Linear Regression

    • Simple Linear Regression uses one independent variable and one dependent variable.
    • Multiple Linear Regression employs more than one independent variable and one dependent variable.

    Hypothesis Function in Linear Regression

    • The hypothesis function represents the linear relationship between the independent variable (X) and the predicted dependent variable (Ŷ).
    • It takes the form Ŷ = θ1 + θ2X, where θ1 is the intercept and θ2 is the coefficient of X.

    Cost Function in Linear Regression

    • The cost function measures the error between predicted values and actual values.
    • The Mean Squared Error (MSE) cost function is widely used in linear regression, calculating the average of squared errors.
    • The goal is to minimize the MSE by adjusting the values of θ1 and θ2 to achieve the best-fit line.

    Assumptions of Simple Linear Regression

    • Linearity: The independent and dependent variables have a linear relationship.
    • Independence: Observations in the dataset are independent of each other.
    • Homoscedasticity: The variance of errors is constant across all levels of the independent variable.

    Bias and Variance in Supervised Learning Models

    • Bias refers to the model's tendency to deviate from the true relationship between input features and output labels.
    • Variance represents the variability of the model's predictions due to changes in the training data.
    • Underfitting occurs when the model is too simple and fails to capture the underlying patterns in the data.
    • Overfitting arises when the model is too complex and memorizes training data, leading to poor performance on unseen data.
    • The bias-variance tradeoff involves finding a balance between simpler models with low variance but potentially higher bias, and more complex models with lower bias but potentially higher variance.
