Linear Regression: A friendly introduction

[@suchismitagoswami5609]

The best part of your teaching style is how beautifully you help us to visualize a complex problem. This technique has helped me in many context to simplify and break down a complex problem into smaller problems..

[@sanguinj]

Luis. I really like your way of teaching. I decided at my 64 start to learn ML, by starting to review my linear algebra. Your way of getting to our heads SVM is the best. Keep doing your hard. Thank you so much for your time. I am just subscribed in your channel !

[@kamalkumar-ew8ry]

I am beginner to Machine Learning. But able to follow this session 100%. Very rare people can explain the things so easily like you Luis Serrano. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@mohammedhasan6522]

I sometimes wonder, how can people describe things so simply. Always a big fan and looking forward to seeing more complex things in your style. :)

[@chakrapani_nallam]

The best teacher if we want to learn "how the machines learn".I have watched many of your videos and suggesting them to newbies.

[@Derfaut]

High quality content with visualizations and so easy to understand. Thank you!

[@maheshBasavaraju]

Your explanation is almost like an elementary school teacher. regression is addng and subtracting to slope and y-intercept. couldn't get easier than this. great!

[@atikfaysal426]

You're the best teacher I have found on KZbin. You explain so intuitively. I wish to get more videos from you.

[@FarizDarari]

Again a great lecture Luis. Especially very nice for beginners. I forwarded you video to my daughter who just had a tough course on statistics. Keep up the great work👍. Thanks Ton

[@moinulhoque2160]

No doubt!! You are the best. We all lost in math equation, rather than visualizing it.

[@kanokyusuki]

Thank you so much Luis! This has been really helpful.

[@fahimachowdhury6780]

In your first step, Do we take the random line? Or do we draw a line by doing average? How do I know whether a point is below or above to the line and left or right to the y-axis?

[@davide8228]

We just pick a random line. To see if a point is below or above.... it's only a math problem. It's very easy so instead of ask here try for yourself with pen and paper. Make a Cartesian plane and pick a point, writing its coordinates

[@agentNirmites]

You got a shoutout from one of India's finest Data Science KZbinr Nitish @CampusX, Thank you so much for your very simplified version of datasc

[@SerranoAcademy]

Ohhh thank you! I got a huge bump in subscribers and was trying to figure out where it came from! I just saw Nitish's video, such a kind shout out. I'll thank him, I'm a big fan of him as well.

[@atinsood]

Luis, much appreciate this and making this so easy to understand. Few questions: 1. Does the line always need to be a straight line or can it be a curve(or is that the reason why it is called linear). 2. If so why/what implications is using a curved line also thanks for the hidden gem explaining beautifully why square error is called square error. 3. when doing the square error, why only consider the vertical distance, why not create squares using horizontal distances

[@SerranoAcademy]

Thanks! A curved line can be used, for example, one with a polynomial equation (quadratic, cubic), instead of linear. This is called polynomial regression. One can also combine lines to make curved lines, and this is what neural networks do.

[@Han-ve8uh]

Vertical distances have practical meanings. It's the gap between the predicted value and actual value we care about. In simple linear regression, vertical axis is output and horizontal axis is input. Intuitively, vertical gaps are more important to minimize than horizontal gaps.

[@macknightxu2199]

should machine learning include back propagation?

[@noorhashem7]

Love these explanations! What tool do you use for these wonderful animations?

[@TheSaintsVEVO]

How do you extend this to higher dimensions? Is there a recommended video for that?

[@EliezerTseytkin]

Simple and brilliant! Thank you!

[@box40able]

Hola, me encanta tus vídeos, ¿este vídeo está disponible en español?

[@pauldmanuel]

Luis Simply amazing. One small question? It is true that the linear regression line always passes through the mean of the data points. Why don't we start with the line which passes through the mean of the data points? In this case, we worry about only the slope and we can ignore y-intercept. Does it make any difference? Paul Manuel

[@NikeJustDoItBeaverton]

That is great trick( rather random line , start at mean) ... Please let me know it worked or improved your model by any means...

[@BharatSharma-ek8sb]

Thank you so much . I hope learning from you will make difference in my professional career. I have 2 questions. 1). When I initialize random line , I need to choose some initial numbers for slope and Y intercept . what is best practice for choosing these numbers. 2) using square trick , I need 2 coordinates to find vertical and horizontal distances. I have one coordinate from dataset (x1,y1) but how to find another one (x2,y2) (which i assume satisfies line equation?) .

[@Han-ve8uh]

For vertical gap, the 2 points have same x. One y comes from the point, the other y comes from prediction from line by substituting into y=mx+b. For horizontal gap, the 2 points have same y. One x comes from the point, the other x is 0 since it's on the y axis.

[@huojinchowdhury3933]

I am little bit confused here Say, when first point say come closer it goes closer to it. Again when second point says come closer it goes towards it. If the third point is way more far from previous two point, then line will be go far way from first two points to be closer to third point. That means, data with more outlier, line will be never near maximum points but it will remain besides outliers. Is it something like while line moving towards a point, it will consider one point at a time? Or considers all other points towards which it moves already and the current point?

[@Han-ve8uh]

This video is showing stochastic gradient descent where each update only considers 1 point. You can consider more than 1 point too (mini-batch GD) or even all the points in the data (GD), which is the most accurate way of updating weights and biases. The geometric interpretation he gives here is exactly the same as the usual gradient descent we see from other sources (just different by constant factors). If we want to consider more points, then the update for both slope and y-intercept will consider the mean of the current operations on vertical/horizontal gaps. Assuming the line updates by looking at points randomly, each point should get seen the same number of times and after many epochs of seeing all points (you can consider 1 epoch as seeing 1 point, or 1 epoch as seeing all points), the line should get better. The issue you mentioned of line not getting updated to a better position and always staying beside outliers should not happen unless the points you use to update the line are always the same outliers.

[@abdelrahmanwaelhelaly1871]

These videos are really good, there are a lot of mistakes you made in this chapter in your book , which lead to a very confusing experience. here it's much better.

[@kskuppu]

Superb!! Simple and Best. Keep doing the good work.

[@ПавлоК-з9н]

I'm wondering if dependency is not linear (but lets say, exponential or quadratic) does the solving non linear task would still be called linear regression?

[@SerranoAcademy]

Absolutely! That is called quadratic regression, or polynomial regression if the degree is higher. These models can also be trained in the same way as linear regression (by updating the weights using gradient descent). Note that the higher the degree of the polynomial, the better the fit, but the more prone you are to overfitting, so often when polynomial regression is used, one should also use something like regularization, to prevent overfitting.

@@SerranoAcademy got, thx so much. Perhaps that could be a topic for one of the next video ;)

[@jameseconomy2578]

Luis, All your videos are so helpful. I have a question though regarding this one. How does the point say "Come closer" (how does the point know it needs to come closer) and how do we know the line is actually closer to the point? Thanks.
