Study Notes
Learning Objectives
- Describe different error measures
- Describe supervised machine learning objectives
- Show how to choose regression coefficients to fit data
Outline
- Introduction to different error measures (sum of squared errors, sum of squared residuals, total sum of squares)
- Calculate regression coefficients for simple linear regression using the linear least squares method
- Derive the ordinary least squares coefficients formula
- Introduction to supervised machine learning objectives (trade-off between model interpretation and prediction, modelling best practices)
Minimising the Error Function: Linear Regression
- For one observation, the error function is (β₀ + β₁x₀) - y₀
- Mean Squared Error (MSE) is the sum of squared errors divided by the number of values
- Aim to minimise the distance between predicted and observed values by optimising β₀ and β₁
Linear Least Squares Method
- Given (x₁, y₁), ..., (xₙ, yₙ) data points, find the "best" fit ŷ = β₀ + Σᵢ=1 βᵢxᵢ
- Use an example with four data points: (1, 6), (2, 5), (3, 7), (4, 10)
- Find the regression coefficients β₀ and β₁ that solves the overdetermined* linear system
- Epsilon represents the error at each point between the curve fit and the data
- The least squares approach aims to minimise the sum of squared errors
Linear Least Squares Method (cont'd)
- Calculate partial derivatives of J(β₀, β₁) with respect to β₀ and β₁ and set them to zero
- This results in a system of two equations and two unknowns, called the normal equations
Linear Least Squares Method (cont'd)
- Solve the equations using elimination method
- Substitute values to find β₀ and β₁
Least Squares Coefficients Formula
- Slope of the regression line: β₁ = Σ(xᵢ - x̄)(yᵢ - ȳ) / Σ(xᵢ - x̄)²
- Y-intercept of the regression line: β₀ = ȳ - β₁x̄
Deriving the Least Squares Coefficients Formula
- Ordinary least squares choose β₀ and β₁ to minimise the sum of squared error (prediction mistakes)
- Calculate the difference between observed and predicted values, square them, and sum them over all observations
- Choose values for β₀ and β₁ to minimise the overall sum
- Take derivatives with respect to β₀ and β₁ and set them to 0
Taking the Derivative with respect to β₀, β₁
- When taking a derivative, the derivative of the sum is the sum of derivatives
- Use the power rule and chain rule
A Reminder of Some Useful Definitions
- Mean and Sum calculations
- Calculate β₁ using the given formulae
Solving (cont'd)
- Implies that the OLS regression line passes through the means of x and y
Using models: prediction
- Prediction objective is to make best predictions
- Performance metrics gauge model prediction quality using measures of closeness between predicted and observed values
- Avoid 'black-box' models by focusing on interpretability
Example: Regression for Prediction
- Example of using regression to predict, using car sharing memberships as a target
- Focus more on prediction than interpreting parameters
Using models: interpretation
- Interpretation objective is training models to find insights from data
- Uses Ω (parameters) to understand the system
- Focus on Ω to generate insights from a model
Example: Regression for Interpretation
- Housing prices example, with features about houses and areas
- Interpret parameters to understand feature importance
Modeling best practices
- Establish a suitable cost function to compare models
- Develop multiple models using different parameters to find best prediction
- Compare resulting models using the cost function
