第一题
Suppose m=4 students have taken some class, and the class had a midterm exam and a final exam. You have collected a dataset of their scores on the two exams, which is as follows:
midterm exam | (midterm exam)^2 | final exam |
---|---|---|
89 | 7921 | 96 |
72 | 5184 | 74 |
94 | 8836 | 87 |
69 | 4761 | 78 |
You’d like to use polynomial regression to predict a student’s final exam score from their midterm exam score. Concretely, suppose you want to fit a model of the form h_θ(x) = θ_0 + θ_1 x_1 + θ_2 x_2
, where x_1 is the midterm score and x_2 is (midterm score)^2. Further, you plan to use both feature scaling (dividing by the “max-min”, or range, of a feature) and mean normalization.
What is the normalized feature x_1^(3) ? (Hint: midterm = 69, final
