regression problem

• m << <script type="math/tex" id="MathJax-Element-68"><<</script>n. the number of samples or instances is greater than the number of features dimension, leading to the X is singular.
  
  • using factor analysis to solve.
  • pca dimension
• overfitting (using pca or regularizer to avoid this issue)
• underfitting. the training data set is so small. using the local weighted linear regression.

single variable linear regression

multivariate linear regression

polynomial non-linear regression

logistic regression (non-linear)

bayesian regression

bayesian estimation—MAP

introduce the prior for the parameters, so that the overfitting problem can be relieved. e.g. l2 norm prior

the prior can also be any extra knowledge, which is also called Occam’s razor.
