Linear regression is a powerful and long-established statistical tool that is commonly used across applied sciences, economics and many other fields. Linear regression considers the relationship ...
Dr. James McCaffrey presents a complete end-to-end demonstration of linear regression using JavaScript. Linear regression is the simplest machine learning technique to predict a single numeric value, ...
Dr. James McCaffrey presents a complete end-to-end demonstration of the kernel ridge regression technique to predict a single numeric value. The demo uses the kernel matrix inverse (Cholesky ...
In this module, we will introduce generalized linear models (GLMs) through the study of binomial data. In particular, we will motivate the need for GLMs; introduce the binomial regression model, ...
In regression problems alternative criteria of "best fit" to least squares are least absolute deviations and least maximum deviations. In this paper it is noted that linear programming techniques may ...
Last month we explored how to model a simple relationship between two variables, such as the dependence of weight on height 1. In the more realistic scenario of dependence on several variables, we can ...
