Logistic Regression - THE MATH YOU SHOULD KNOW!

[@oksaubercool]

Very good explanation. Only thing, you're starting really slow, which is perfect, but then when the math gets messy you speed up by 10 times and go by without further explanations. Nonetheless very useful.

[@calluma8472]

Yeah anyone who can follow the maths at that speed doesn't need this video I think.

[@andyd568]

Just pause the video and look up the terms he mentions. I think the problem is if he stops to go into each subtopic the video would become a lecture unto itself.

[@95Bloulou]

I disagree, I think the speed is really nice during the whole video because it is calculus details that you can study if you want by just pausing the video.

[@SpecialBlanket]

I disagree. Toward the end he's just rearranging the equations.

[@UnPuntoyComa]

I also considered the speed was adequate. I simply couldn't follow after he mentioned "Taylor series" just because I don't have a clue of what that is, but I get that what he did, if I knew about numerical methods wouldn't be so complicated.

[@Actanonverba01]

Love the math full proofs! That stuff is rarely shown even in classes. There is just not enough time to... Great stuff!

[@SpecialBlanket]

Yup. I came here after staring at Bishop (the book) for 3 hours failing to get through some of the "trivial" skipped steps.

[@mktsp2]

Yeah, most statistics lecturers are loosers

[@kevinshao9148]

THE BEST only 9 min to illustrate Logistic Regression! Really appreciate your brilliant work!

[@UnPuntoyComa]

This is the most clearly explained and well developed video about the issue I have seen. Most explanations stop with the maximization of the log likelihood function, and I couldn't find how it is maximized until now. I didn't understand a bit, but it's better to know that something is beyond my comprehension than not knowing what it is. Thank you! Subscribed.

[@mohammedismail308]

Sometimes the good demonstration is nothing without such one example which is deploying the theory in practice. Thanks at all :)

[@jerrylu532]

Oh man, you just saved my course project! Thanks for these great help that really explained how the math works!

[@qingli1799]

Amazing! Parameter estimation in logistic regression has confused me for so long. I know MLE is used to estimate betas in logistic regression. However, the full math proofs really clarify the way! Really appreciate your video!

[@haraldurkarlsson1147]

Excellent! Clear and logical explanation of all the steps involved.

[@chriskong7418]

Love the maths part. Definitely my hero in ML.

[@bambinodeskaralhes]

Thank you very much !!!! The only guy who could make me understand this subject !!!! You are great !!!!!!

[@haifasaud1001]

Yesssssss finally! No one ever gives any significance into the mathematical part

[@christophersolomon633]

I find this a really nice video which strikes a good balance between general principles and details (which can be a very tricky thing to do). I had spent some time reading a textbook about the method and had a few uncertainties. This seemed just the ticket to clarify it all.

[@dm3248]

After going through so many videos, finally understood. Thanks!!

Excellent job --- congratulations. You sound about 15 years old!!! Even more impressive

[@hikmatullahmohammadi27]

07:54 In gradiant of loss function equation there should be X instead of XT

[@stephanschaefer155]

Thank very much. First time I understand how the coefficients sre calculsted. Great!

[@romanwang7562]

I was able to implement this with a minor difference: I used X.T instead of X for the middle term inside the weight update expression

[@binyillikcinar]

Decent but NewtonRaphson is not the only numerical method. It could be better to list few alternatives, especially Gradient-Descent to the top of the list. Since it involves single derivative the parameter update rule is much simpler.

[@Trakushun]

Clear explanation and in deep developed. Charming voice and very good structure. Thanks dude!

[@basantmounir]

Can someone please explain at 5:20 how did we convert the expression into a summation? And how was the log part of the new expression of summation? Also, what do the s and n in the counters represent and is there a relationship between them? Thank you.

[@dominiccordeiro9257]

you take the log of a product. Then convert it to sums of logs. for example: log (a*b) = log(a) + log(b)

[@Saravananmicrosoft]

Very good explanation, i did that step by step derivative with your material can you do video on maths involved for backward propagation

[@kkkk150984]

How the powers come yi and 1-yi at 5:19 in video please clarify..

[@giacomopauletti5099]

I am watching the video rn ... did you find the answer to your question? If you did, pls tell me the answer because I have been struggling from such a long period

[@Ltsoftware3139]

For the part p(xi)^yi -> if yi = 1 we will remain with p(xi), but if yi=0 that element will not have any impact. For the second part (1-xi)^(1-y1) it's exactly the opposite. If yi = 1 then we will have (1-xi)^0, so the term will not have any impact. If yi=0 then we will have (1-xi)^1=1-xi. Basically, raising to the power of yi filters(get's rid of) all the elements where yi=0, and raising to the power of (1-yi) filters all the elements where yi=1.

[@Ltsoftware3139]

From what I understand, by estimating the beta parameter, we only determine the slope of the sigmoid, but it is still centered on the x-axis. My data is only positive, so in my case, I need another parameter to shift the whole sigmoid to the left or right.

[@9181shreyasbhatt]

u mean by using e^-(beta0 + beta1 x) instead of e^-(beta1 x) in sigmoid function

[@hnkulkarni]

Thank you for this explanation.

[@mridulavijendran3062]

why do we maximize the product(in particular) of the probabilities? Is it to exploit the idea that the log of the products are sums and it could also help simplify the calculations of the sigmoid function? Edit: How do we know that P(1-P) is a diagonal matrix?

[@maryamrastegar6368]

thank you. it was very helpful in my exam.

[@vaishanavshukla5199]

Nice info. How do we obtain standard errors of estimators in logistics regression?? Kindly guide me

[@henrychen1544]

Hi, I was wondering where the term yi came from and what do you mean by s in yi thank you

[@rocavincent2266]

At 6:25, I think there is a sign error for the calculus of beta_{t+1}. You make a subtraction as in gradient descent, whereas we want to maximize the likelihood here. Am I right ?

[@sahilchaturvedi593]

Best explanation on youtube. Thanks :)

[@rithealeang6217]

Don’t quite understand when you said remove y as it is independent to beta and no gradient term with p(x)x. Any explanation thank

[@PCD1387]

can you please tell which book do you follow ?

[@Tyokok]

Great explain in such short 9 min. Subscribed! One question: in your video, you finally got formula beta(t+1) = beta(t) + ......., so how you set up beta(t=0) the initial value of beta to start your iteration? Thank you very much in advance!

[@CodeEmporium]

Thanks for hopping board! You can randomly initialize your parameters ( the beta vector ).

[@deepanshudashora5887]

sir could you please explain when we have to use linear and when logistic regression ? i am totally confused about this

[@Tyokok]

@@deepanshudashora5887 hope it's not too late if you ask me or the poster. linear regression for linear model predict a value, logistic regression for classification problem.

[@aayusmaanjain9854]

Can someone please explain why the yi and (1-yi) term goes to the exponent in the second equation when we combine the product at 5:20

[@CodeEmporium]

We took the logarithm of the equation. A property of logarithms is the exponent term can be written as a product. And we took the logarithm in the first place since we want to just find the betas that maximize the value of L. The values of betas remain the same if we maximize the log of the equation too (a property called “monotonically increasing functions”)

[@sijiahuang6936]

Hi, I just want to ask, in the last formula, should it be "X^T" instead of "X"? I mean the middle "X" in (X^T * W*X)^(-1) X (Y-Y').

[@vaishanavshukla5199]

great explaination !!!!!

[@Actanonverba01]

Hey, do you have a book reference for the math you show here? Awesome work! :)

[@name6297]

The explanation was really good. Can you suggest a couple of math courses that help better visualize what I've seen here?.Thanks :-)

[@moisessoto5061]

Can we do a linear regresion of the logit to the explanatory variables and get the probabilities from the fitted logit?

[@CodeEmporium]

Linear regression expects the outcome y to be continuous - not categorical

[@mahammadodj]

Could anyone explain why P(1-P) is written as W at 8:12 ?

at 8:21 is it X^T (Y-Yhat^(t)) instead of X(Y-Yhat^(t))? in the very last line.

[@ssshukla26]

Yes.

[@1UniverseGames]

What will happen if we use (-1,1) instead of (0,1) in logistic function, what kind of equations it will give? Any video or source to study this?

[@user-tx3mo1ez2n]

1/(1+e^(-bx)) always lie between 0 and 1. There is no choice to use anything, the function is chosen in such a way that it always lie between 0 and 1.

[@shardx191]

i dont understand at 4:40 , what does s in yi=1 means ? how does it relate to the P notation

[@CheetahDFurious20]

Hi.. Actually In terms of matrix we cannot multily any matix by itself as such i.e. if you consider X is a matrix and if you want to calculate X * X then we cannot do it as such because order of matrix i.e. m x n wont allow us untill and unless it is sqaure matix else we have to transpose it and then multiply it.. X (m x n) * X ^T (n x m) = XX^T (m x m). Hope this final representation would help you... Thanks Happy learning...

Dear Sir, if I may have 2 questions here: 1) 7:25, how did you remove y_i as it's independent? yi can be opposite signs, how can it be removed like 1? 2) at 7:58 in matrix representation why you convert p(x_i) in different way? or it really doesn't matter, cuz you will substitute beta_i in sigmoid function at each iteration? Many Thanks!

[@musarratazim7940]

Why you don't estimate alpha? ?you only consider Beta in logistic regression model

[@CodeEmporium]

Sorry. What is alpha in this case?

[@musarratazim7940]

In logistic regression parameter alpha is also also present (book gujrati econometrica and walepole introduction to statistics) but in this case why you not take it.

Awesome Explanation. I was looking for an answer to this question. Please help. In Logistic Model ,a coefficient has value 1.6. This means that each unit change in the corresponding predictor variable multiples the odds of the outcome by how much?
