Machine learning
● Machine learning is the subfield of computer
science that gives computers the ability to
learn without being programmed.
Machine Learning techniques
● Supervised
● Unsupervised
● Reinforcement
Supervised Learning techniques
● There are two categories for supervised
learning techniques
– Regression
– Classification
Regression
v/s
Classification
● Classification
– Output type: discrete
– Trying to find: a boundary
– Evaluation: accuracy
● Regression
– Output type: continuous
– Trying to find: best fit line
– Evaluation: sum of sqaured errors
Logistic Regression
Logistic Regression
● A type of classification algorithm
● Based on linear regression to evaluate output
and to minimize the error
● Named after the method it uses to evaluate
the outputs the Logit function
What is Logit Function?
● Odds: Chances of happening one event over
chances of this event not happening.
● i.e.
● In previous slide we saw the graph of Logit
function.
● This Logit function is bounded over x (between
0 and 1 for input values) and unbounded over
y-axis (output values)
● But we need y-axis (output values) to be
bounded to classify them.
● Hence we take the inverse of the logit function
