1 Octave 中的for 和 while
for i<10,
i = i + 1;
end;
这样是错误的,这里的for 应该换成while。
2 Octave 中的std和mean
函数std(x),算出x的标准偏差。x可以是一行的matrix或者一个多行matrix,如果只有一行,那么就是算一行的标准偏差,如果有多行,就是算每一列的标准偏差。
std(x,a)也是x的标准偏差,但是a可以=0或者1.如果是0和前面没有区别,如果是1就是最后除以n,而不是n-1.(你参考计算标准偏差的公式,一般都用除以n-1的公式。)
std (x, a, b) 这里a表示是要用n还是n-1,如果是a是0就是除以n-1,如果是1就是除以n,b这里是维数,比如说
1 2 3 4;
4 5 6 1;
如果b是1,就是按照列分,如果b是2就是按照行分,如果是三维的矩阵,b=3就按照第三维来分数据
M = mean(A),如果A只有一行或者一列数据,那么计算结果为这一行或这一列的平均值,如果A是一个矩阵,那么这里默认按照列来计算平均值
M = mean(A,dim),dim=1 表示按照列计算,dim=2表示按照行计算

% ====================== YOUR CODE HERE ======================
% Instructions: Plot the training data into a figure using the
% "figure" and "plot" commands. Set the axes labels using
% the "xlabel" and "ylabel" commands. Assume the
% population and revenue data have been passed in
% as the x and y arguments of this function.

plot(x, y, 'rx', 'MarkerSize', 10);
ylabel('Profit in $10,000s');
xlabel('Population of City in 10,000s');
% ============================================================
end
2 Gradient Descent
cost function
function J = computeCost(X, y, theta)
%COMPUTECOST Compute cost for linear regression
% J = COMPUTECOST(X, y, theta) computes the cost of using theta as the
% parameter for linear regression to fit the data points in X and y
% Initialize some useful values
m = length(y); % number of training examples
% You need to return the following variables correctly
J = 0;
% ====================== YOUR CODE HERE ======================
% Instructions: Compute the cost of a particular choice of theta
% You should set J to the cost.
J = sum((X * theta - y).^2)/(2*m);
% =========================================================================
end
Gradient Descent
function [theta, J_history] = gradientDescent(X, y, theta, alpha, num_iters)
%GRADIENTDESCENT Performs gradient descent to learn theta
% theta = GRADIENTDESENT(X, y, theta, alpha, num_iters) updates theta by
% taking num_iters gradient steps with learning rate alpha
% Initialize some useful values
m = length(y); % number of training examples
J_history = zeros(num_iters, 1);
for iter = 1:num_iters
% ====================== YOUR CODE HERE ======================
% Instructions: Perform a single gradient step on the parameter vector
% theta.
%
% Hint: While debugging, it can be useful to print out the values
% of the cost function (computeCost) and gradient here.
%
% ============================================================
% Save the cost J in every iteration
theta = theta - alpha * (X' * (X * theta - y)) / m;
J_history(iter) = computeCost(X, y, theta);
end
end
总结:
1 一开始计算cost function的时候忘记1/2m的系数了,导致计算结果是一个很大的值
2 最后一步中画surf的方法可以借鉴
3 一个很好的习惯就是计算grandient descent的时候,跟踪J(theta)的变化,来分析cost function随着迭代的收敛情况,来决定选择合适的alpha学习速率。
4 学习X = [ones(m, 1), data(:,1)]; % Add a column of ones to x, 其中为feature增加一列1的方法
Linear regression with multiple variables
1 dataset 第一列是房屋的面积,第二列是房屋中包含的卧室的数量,第三列是目标结果,在这里是价格
2104,3,399900
1600,3,329900
2400,3,369000
1416,2,232000
3000,4,539900
1985,4,299900
1534,3,314900
1427,3,198999
很容易发现,第一列和第二列数据的量级相差很大,不利于梯度下降的收敛,这里对数据进行规约,采取的方法是
(sample - mean)/ standard divation, 另外一种方案是(sample - mean)/ (max - min),这里采取第一种
使用的函数分别为mean和std计算平均值和标准差
function [X_norm, mu, sigma] = featureNormalize(X)
%FEATURENORMALIZE Normalizes the features in X
% FEATURENORMALIZE(X) returns a normalized version of X where
% the mean value of each feature is 0 and the standard deviation
% is 1. This is often a good preprocessing step to do when
% working with learning algorithms.
% You need to set these values correctly
X_norm = X;
mu = zeros(1, size(X, 2));
sigma = zeros(1, size(X, 2));
% ====================== YOUR CODE HERE ======================
% Instructions: First, for each feature dimension, compute the mean
% of the feature and subtract it from the dataset,
% storing the mean value in mu. Next, compute the
% standard deviation of each feature and divide
% each feature by it's standard deviation, storing
% the standard deviation in sigma.
%
% Note that X is a matrix where each column is a
% feature and each row is an example. You need
% to perform the normalization separately for
% each feature.
%
% Hint: You might find the 'mean' and 'std' functions useful.
%
mu = mean(X,1);
sigma = std(X);
i = 1;
le = size(X, 2);
while i <= le,
X_norm(:,i) = (X(:,i) - mu(1,i))/sigma(1,i);
i = i + 1;
end;
% ============================================================
end
这里计算得到的mean和std应该保存下来,当需要对新数据进行预测的时候,使用这里计算得到的mean和std来进行数据规约,然后根据theta的值进行预测和估算
2 Gradient Descent
这里和上面的代码保持一致,但是有另外的方法计算,稍微一点不同作为参考
3 Selecting Learning Rate
We recommend trying values of the learning rate on a log-scale, at multiplicative steps of about 3 times the previous value (i.e., 0.3, 0.1, 0.03, 0.01 and so on).
把J(theta)在每次迭代的变化情况画出来后可以得到下面的图片,由此可以看出来学习速率alpha是可以工作的,可以尝试把alpha调大,本来alpha默认是0.03后来我将它调成1之后,J(theta)快速的收敛到了最小值。
总结: 当把数据做了标准化之后,得到theta,在进行预测新的数据的时候,要再次把新数据进行规约,然后计算
Normal Equation
这里非常简单的套用公式即可
function [theta] = normalEqn(X, y)
%NORMALEQN Computes the closed-form solution to linear regression
% NORMALEQN(X,y) computes the closed-form solution to linear
% regression using the normal equations.
theta = zeros(size(X, 2), 1);
% ====================== YOUR CODE HERE ======================
% Instructions: Complete the code to compute the closed form solution
% to linear regression and put the result in theta.
%
% ---------------------- Sample Solution ----------------------
theta = pinv(X'*X)*X'*y;
% -------------------------------------------------------------
% ============================================================
end
在这里normal equation可以一次计算就得到最优结果,经过比较发现normal equation和gradient descent计算的结果不一样,其实原因是因为上面的gradient descent做过的数据规约的处理,所以会得到不一样的theta,但是两种方法预测的新数据时是可以得到相同的结果。
