I'm wondering how the hell this is filmed. Some mirror magic or does he actually write backwards?

It is filmed using Engineering Magic!

he did wrote backwards.. thats engineering concept , if adding doesnt solve the problem, then subtract it :)

[@batatambor]

When we are talking about linear regressions we normally have to satisfy a few assumptions like (linearity, normality of error, homoskedasticity and etc). Do these conditions also have to hold in order to perform a logistic regression? You have after all a kind a of a linear regression inside the sigmund function, right?

[@EndlessEngineering]

The logistic model assumes a linear relationship between the predictor variables and the log-odds of the event. Logistic regression can be seen as a special case of the generalized linear model and thus analogous to linear regression, but logistic regression makes 2 key different assumptions First, the conditional distribution y ∣ x is a Bernoulli distribution rather than a Gaussian distribution. Second, the predicted values are probabilities and are therefore restricted to (0,1).

[@user-xt9js1jt6m]

Nice explanation sir Wt if there is intercept? Do we have to estimate multiple parametrs simultaneously??

[@EndlessEngineering]

Hi Kailas, thank you for watching! That is a great question, and the answer is YES! In fact the formulation I show here does estimate an intercept, that is included in the notation x bar (a bar on top of the vector x). x_bar is the vector x appended with one element of value 1 like this --> x_bar = [1, x0, x1, ..., xn]. So the parameter that multiplies the element of value 1 is the intercept.

[@user-xt9js1jt6m]

@@EndlessEngineering understood!! Thank you sir for replying. When i was trying to understanding entire mechanism i came accross various ways like Gradient descent and Newton Rapson. In gradient descent X new= x initial - Rate * slope Newton rapson X new = x initial - Log likely hood ( x initial)/ derivative of it M i correct?? Which is better?? Thanks you once again for your reply!!🙏🙏🙏

[@EndlessEngineering]

@@user-xt9js1jt6m Newton's method requires computing the second derivative of your cost function (Hessian) and inverting it. This uses more information and would converge faster than gradient descent (which only requires the first derivative. However, requiring the hessian to exist imposes a more strict condition of smoothness, and inverting it might be computationally challenging in some cases. So I would say neither is absolutely better, it just depends on the problem/data you are dealing with.

what do he mean by x barre

[@praneethd.v1292]

Why is the probability multiplied in example and why is it power in actual equation? Time : 4.52 of video

[@EndlessEngineering]

Praneeth, that is the equation for a Bernoulli distribution which takes the value 1 with probability p and the value 0 with probability 1 - p. This type of distribution is nice for a binary problem like we are solving in the video.

[@yoyoIITian]

Wow! Nice explanation. Thank you so much.

but why is it x bar ?, its not xi?

[@sanchitgoyal6720]

What is x bar at 13:18

[@EndlessEngineering]

It is a vector of the inputs with a one appended to it, see 1:47

[@anshulsaini5401]

The explanation is very good. I still have some doubts regarding logistic regression Gradient descent/ascent is used to minimize the error right? In linear regression what we did was, we chose a random value for "b1 & b0" and then checked our error (MSE) using that slope and intercept. We integrated it again and again until we got a slope and intercept (b1 and b0) where the error was minimum which means global minima. 1) Why we are using gradient ascent here? 2) In linear regression we chose random values for b0 and b1, so what will be that random value here in logistic regression?

[@EndlessEngineering]

1) We are using the gradient ascent here to maximize the log likelihood function that we derived. You could use gradient descent if you multiply the log likelihood by a -1, then you are minimizing the -1 * Likelihood which is the same as maximizing the likelihood. 2) The random variables here are the model parameters in the hypothesis. That is the vector theta mention. In the example I am showing it is the same model as linear regression, the number of parameters depends on the length of the input vector x

[@karl-henridorleans5081]

first things first, thank you very much for this explanation!! Liked and subscribed immediately! One thing that is still unclear to me is how in time stamp 12:06 you get the value of X-bar from that derivative. At the beginning X-bar was set to be a vector of the form: X-bar = [1, X_0,..., X_n]. I did the math (ie. the derivative of the sigmoid function w.r.t. theta), and I do not understand that connection. Any help would be welcome!

[@EndlessEngineering]

Hi Karl. Thanks for watching and subscribing! That is a very good question, let me see if I can clarify. The derivative we want to compute is d sigma(theta__transpose * x_bar) / d theta . Using the chain rule and let a = theta__transpose * x_bar Eq(1) then we can write that as d sigma(a) / d theta = [d sigma(a) / d a] * [d a / d theta] Eq(2) based on Eq(1) we can write [d a / d theta] = d theta__transpose * x_bar / d theta --> which is equal to x_bar Eq(3) and d sigma(a) / d a = sigma(a) * (1 - sigma(a)) = sigma(theta__transpose * x_bar) * (1 - sigma(theta__transpose * x_bar)) Eq(4) Substitute Eq(3) and Eq(4) into Eq(2) and substitute the value of a from Eq(1) all into the original derivative d sigma(theta__transpose * x_bar) / d theta = sigma(theta__transpose * x_bar) * (1 - sigma(theta__transpose * x_bar)) * x_bar I hope that clears it up

[@nickhall7793]

@@EndlessEngineering Very helpful explanation thank you!

[@AdarshSingh-qk2rj]

Why theta to be found, is needed to be increased using Max-LF ?

[@AdarshSingh-qk2rj]

Normally we want to maximize the likelihood (consequently the log likelihood). This is the reason why we call this method maximum likelihood estimation. We want to determine the parameters in such a way that the likelihood (or log likelihood) is maximized. When we think about the loss function we want to have something that is bounded by 0 from below and is unbounded for positive values. Our goal is to minimize the cost function. Hence, we take the negative of the log likelihood and use it as our cost function. It is important to note that this is just a convention. You could also take the log likelihood and maximize it, but in this case, we would not be able to interpret it as a cost function.

why are you writing the sum symbol and then still do +...+ . I dont think its supposed like that

[@EndlessEngineering]

Thanks for your question. The term affected by the sum symbol was too long to fit on one page, so I had to break it into multiple lines. It is valid to use the +...+ notation in that case since I am using the same index (i) to show that the other term belongs in the sum as well.
