NameError: name mat is not defined

在机器学习实战中，编写梯度上升算法报错；NameError: name 'mat' is not defined

出现这种问题的主要原因在于python2和python3不兼容的问题，解决方法如下：

from numpy import *

def gradAscent(dataMatIn,classLabels):
    dataMatrix = mat(dataMatIn)
    labelMat =  mat(classLabels).transpose()
    m,n = shape(dataMatrix)
    ....

或者写成如下样式

import numpy 
def gradAscent(dataMatIn,classLabels):
    dataMatrix = numpy.mat(dataMatIn)
    labelMat =  numpy.mat(classLabels).transpose()
    m,n = shape(dataMatrix)
    ....
