机器学习笔记-1 Linear Regression(week 1)

 

1.Linear Regression with One variable

Linear Regression is supervised learning algorithm, Because the data set is given a right answer for each example.

And we are predicting real-valued output so it is a regression problem.

2. Cost Function

Idea: choose Θ₀ and Θ_{1 so that h(x) is close to y for our training example}

cost function:

(it a bow-shaped function )

So it became a mathematical problem of minimizing the cost function （Squared error funciton）

3. Gradient Descent

we are using gradient descent to minimize the cost function

Process:

1. Start with some random choice of the theta vector

2. Keep changing the theta vector to reduce J(theta) Until we end up at a minimum

Repeat until convergence:

(the derivative term is the slope of the cost function)

alpha is the learning rate And we need to a aimultaneous update for the theta vector.

1. If alpha is too small, the gradient descent is small

2. If alpha is too larger, gradient descent, it will overshoot the minimum, it may fail to converge.

And taking the derivative, we can get:

Convex function: a bow-shaped function just like the cost function J（theta）

Batch gradient descent： each step of gradient descent uses all the training examples(sum over all the training sample)
