Coursera: Machine Learning (Week 2) [Assignment Solution] - Andrew NG

Coursera: Machine Learning (Week 2) [Assignment Solution] - Andrew NG
▸ Linear regression and get to see it work on data.

I have recently completed the Machine Learning course from Coursera by Andrew NG.

While doing the course we have to go through various quiz and assignments.

Here, I am sharing my solutions for the weekly assignments throughout the course.

These solutions are for reference only.

> It is recommended that you should solve the assignments by yourself honestly then only it makes sense to complete the course.
> But, In case you stuck in between, feel free to refer to the solutions provided by me.

NOTE:

Don't just copy paste the code for the sake of completion. 
Even if you copy the code, make sure you understand the code first.

Since there is NO assignment in week-1, Let's start with the week-2 assignment....

In this exercise, you will implement linear regression and get to see it work on data. Before starting on this programming exercise, we strongly recommend watching the video lectures and completing the review questions for the associated topics.


It consist of the following files:
  • ex1.m - Octave/MATLAB script that steps you through the exercise
  • ex1 multi.m - Octave/MATLAB script for the later parts of the exercise
  • ex1data1.txt - Dataset for linear regression with one variable
  • ex1data2.txt - Dataset for linear regression with multiple variables
  • submit.m - Submission script that sends your solutions to our servers
  • [*] warmUpExercise.m - Simple example function in Octave/MATLAB
  • [*] plotData.m - Function to display the dataset
  • [*] computeCost.m - Function to compute the cost of linear regression
  • [*] gradientDescent.m - Function to run gradient descent
  • [#] computeCostMulti.m - Cost function for multiple variables
  • [#] gradientDescentMulti.m - Gradient descent for multiple variables
  • [#] featureNormalize.m - Function to normalize features
  • [#] normalEqn.m - Function to compute the normal equations
  • Video - YouTube videos featuring Free IOT/ML tutorials
* indicates files you will need to complete
# indicates optional exercises

warmUpExercise.m :

function A = warmUpExercise()
  %WARMUPEXERCISE Example function in octave
  %   A = WARMUPEXERCISE() is an example function that returns the 5x5 identity matrix
  
   A = []; 
  % ============= YOUR CODE HERE ==============
  % Instructions: Return the 5x5 identity matrix 
  %               In octave, we return values by defining which variables
  %               represent the return values (at the top of the file)
  %               and then set them accordingly.

  figure; % open a new figure window
  
  % ====================== YOUR CODE HERE ======================
  % Instructions: Plot the training data into a figure using the 
  %               "figure" and "plot" commands. Set the axes labels using
  %               the "xlabel" and "ylabel" commands. Assume the 
  %               population and revenue data have been passed in
  %               as the x and y arguments of this function.
  %
  % Hint: You can use the 'rx' option with plot to have the markers
  %       appear as red crosses. Furthermore, you can make the
  %       markers larger by using plot(..., 'rx', 'MarkerSize', 10);
  
  plot(x, y, 'rx', 'MarkerSize', 10); % Plot the data

featureNormalize.m :

function [X_norm, mu, sigma] = featureNormalize(X)
  %FEATURENORMALIZE Normalizes the features in X 
  %   FEATURENORMALIZE(X) returns a normalized version of X where
  %   the mean value of each feature is 0 and the standard deviation
  %   is 1. This is often a good preprocessing step to do when
  %   working with learning algorithms.
  
  % You need to set these values correctly
  X_norm = X;
  mu = zeros(1, size(X, 2));
  sigma = zeros(1, size(X, 2));
  
  % ====================== YOUR CODE HERE ======================
  % Instructions: First, for each feature dimension, compute the mean
  %               of the feature and subtract it from the dataset,
  %               storing the mean value in mu. Next, compute the 
  %               standard deviation of each feature and divide
  %               each feature by it's standard deviation, storing
  %               the standard deviation in sigma. 
  %
  %               Note that X is a matrix where each column is a 
  %               feature and each row is an example. You need 
  %               to perform the normalization separately for 
  %               each feature. 
  %
  % Hint: You might find the 'mean' and 'std' functions useful.
  %       
  
  mu = mean(X);
  sigma = std(X);
  X_norm = (X - mu)./sigma;

  %NORMALEQN Computes the closed-form solution to linear regression 
  %   NORMALEQN(X,y) computes the closed-form solution to linear 
  %   regression using the normal equations.
  
  theta = zeros(size(X, 2), 1);
  
  % ====================== YOUR CODE HERE ======================
  % Instructions: Complete the code to compute the closed form solution
  %               to linear regression and put the result in theta.

      Please check you code.
      In the code, you can variable "y" is defined in parameter list itself.
      So, logically you should not get that error.
      There must something else you might be missing outside these functions.

      because small y already is used as a input argument for the mentioned functions. So, you can't get the error like y is undefined.

  8. Hello ,

    In the gradient descent.m file : theta = theta - ((alpha/m) * X'*error);
    I m confused, why do we take the transpose of X (X'*error) instead
    of X ?

    Thanks in advance
    B

    ردحذف
    الردود
    1. Hi Bruno,
      I got your confusion, Here X (capital X) represent all the training data together, each row as one training sample, each column as a feature. We want to multiply each training data with corresponding error. To make it happen you have to transpose of X (capital X).

      if you take x (small x) as single training sample then you don't have to worry about transpose and all.
      Simply (x * error) will work.

      Try to do it manually on a notebook. You will understand it.

    1. I found the solition for those who were getting u defi ed error.
      if you are using octave
      then
      the file shouldnot first start with function, octave takes it as a function, not as a script.

      solution
      add anything to first line
      example
      add 1; first line and then start function.

      If you wanna test your function when you run, first initialize the variables to matrices and respective values.
      then pass these as parameters to the function.

  18. hey
    i think the errors related to undefined variables are due to people not passing arguments while calling the func from octave window. Can you post an example of command to run computeCost with arguments

    2. This is happening because variable parts has the same name as of parts(conf) function in file ex1/lib/submitWithConfiguration.m

      Make the following changes to resolve this :

      Line 92 - function [parts_1] = parts(conf)
      Line 93 - parts_1 = {};
      Line 98 - parts_1{end + 1} = part;
      Basically, I've just renamed the variables.
      Same thing is happening with one more variable, so make the following changes :
      Line 66 - submissionUrl_1 = submissionUrl();

    1. single parameter costfunction is as follows:

      for i=1:m
      temp = temp + (h(i) - y(i))^2;
      end
      J = (1/(2*m)) * temp;

      Which doesn't work for multi parameter costfunction.

      But, I have also provided vectorized implementation. (It is generic code and works for both single as well as multi parameters).

    X_norm = (X - mu)./(sigma);

    temp0 = theta(1) - ((alpha/m) * sum((X * theta) - y) .* X(:,1));
    temp1 = theta(2) - ((alpha/m) * sum((X * theta) - y) .* X(:,2));
    theta = [temp0; temp1];

    My computeCost function has this line of code on line number 15:

    NB: surprisingly I can run the gradientDescent lines individually on octave command without problems

    1. I also had this problem, I realised that it is to do with the brackets.
      if you compare your code to mine;

      t0 = theta(1) - ((alpha/m) * sum(((X * theta) - y).* X(:,1)));
      t1 = theta(2) - ((alpha/m) * sum(((X * theta) - y).* X(:,2)));
      theta = [t0; t1];

      you can see that you are missing 2 brackets on each side. this dimensions may be messed up due to wrong operations

      have you raised this concern on coursera forum. please try it there, you will get the resolution for sure.

  74. Hi Akshay i have question about gradient descent with multiple variables.
    Q(0) Q(1)
    While doing the Gradient descent we were using X as [1 random number]
    [1 random number]
    [1 random number]

    we were using 1 for Q(0).
    My question is for doing multiple varient Gradient Descent do we use X matrix as a
    Q(0) Q(1) Q(2)....
    X = [1 random random ...]

    because in coursera as an example they took as;
    X = data(:, 1:2);
    y = data(:, 3);

    Don't they need to add 1 numbers in X for to represent Q(0)?

    1. Once you split the input(X) and output(y) from the raw data.
      The below line add the 1 in the input =(X) as mentioned the theory.

      x = [ones(m, 1), data(:,1)]

      Above line will take care of adding one in the input(X). Please check the code, it is already present in the code.

  77. I copied exactly all the same code as author. The program run successfully but the result of gradient descent was crazy large(incorrect much bigger then expected).
    I was stuck in this part for a long time. Could anyone help? Thank you very much.

  79. concerning the code on gradient Descent, please am yet to undrstand how the iterations work, am i to keep running the gradient descent and manually updating theta myself till i get to the value of theta with the lowest cost. please expanciate more on this it will be very helpful.
