我曾经使用Logistic Regression方法进行ctr的预测工作,因为当时主要使用的是成型的工具,对该算法本身并没有什么比较深入的认识,不过可以客观的感受到Logistic Regression的商用价值。
Logistic Regression Model
A. objective function
其中z的定义域是(-INF,+INF),值域是[0,1]
We call this function sigmoid function or logistic function.
We want 0 ≤ hθ(x) ≤ 1 and hθ(x) = g(θTx)
B. Decision boundary
在 0 ≤ hθ(x) ≤ 1的连续空间内,用logistic regression做分类时,我们可以将hθ(x)等于0.5作为分割点。
- if hθ(x) ≥ 0.5,predict "y = 1";
- if hθ(x) < 0.5,predict "y = 0";
而Decision Boundary就是能够将所有数据点进行很好地分类的 h(x) 边界。
C. Cost Function
Defination:
Because y = 0 or y = 1,and cost function can been writen as below:
Advanced optimization
In order to minimize J(θ), and get θ. Then how to get minθ J(θ) ?
A. Using gradient descent to do optimization

Compute , we can get (推导过程下方附录)

B.其他基于梯度的优化方法
- Conjugate gradient(共轭梯度)
- 牛顿法
- 拟牛顿法
- BFGS(以其发明者Broyden, Fletcher, Goldfarb和Shanno的姓氏首字母命名),公式:
- L-BFGS
- OWLQN
Multi classification
How to do multi classification using logistic regression? (one vs rest)
A. How to train model?
当训练语料标注的类别大于2时,记为n。我们可以训练n个LR模型,每个模型的训练数据正例是第i类的样本,反例是剩余样本。(1≤ i ≤n)
B.How to do prediction?
在 n 个 hθ(x) 中,获得最大 hθ(x) 的类就是x所分到的类,即
Overfitting
A. How to address overfitting?
a) Reduce number of features.
- Manually select which features to keep.
- Model selection algorithm (later in course).
b) Regularization(规范化)
- Keep all the features, but reduce magnitude/values of all parameters .
- Works well when we have a lot of features, each of which contributes a bit to predicting .
c) Cross-validation(交叉验证)
- Holdout验证: 我们将语料库分成:训练集,验证集和测试集;
- K-fold cross-validation:优势在于同时重复运用随机产生的子样本进行训练和验证,每次的结果验证一次;
B. Regularized linear regression
(式1)
(式2)
C. Normal equation
Non-invertibility(optional/advanced).
suppose m ≤ n m: the number of examples; n: the number of features;
θ = (XTX)-1XTy
由(式1)和(式2)可以得到对应的n+1维参数矩阵。
D. Regularized logistic regression
Regularized cost function:
J(θ) =
Gradient descent:

Logistic Regression与Linear Regression的关系
Logistic Regression是线性回归的一种,Logistic Regression 就是一个被logistic方程归一化后的线性回归。
Logistic Regression的适用性
- 可用于概率预测,也可用于分类;
- 仅能用于线性问题;
- 各feature之间不需要满足条件独立假设,但各个feature的贡献是独立计算的。
HOMEWORK
好了,既然看完了视频课程,就来做一下作业吧,下面是Logistic Regression部分作业的核心代码:
1.sigmoid.m
m = 0;
n=0;
[m,n] = size(z);
for i = 1:m
for j = 1:n
g(i,j) = 1/(1+e^(-z(i,j)));
end
end
2.costFunction.m
for i =1:m
J = J+(-y(i)*log(sigmoid(X(i,:)*theta)))-(1-y(i))*log(1-sigmoid(X(i,:)*theta));
end
J=J/m;
for j=1:size(theta)
for i=1:m
grad(j)=grad(j)+(sigmoid(X(i,:)*theta)-y(i))*X(i,j);
end
grad(j)=grad(j)/m;
end
3.predict.m
for i=1:m
if(sigmoid(theta'*X(i,:)')>0.5)
p(i)=1;
else
p(i)=0;
endif
end
4.costFunctionReg.m
for i =1:m
J = J+(-y(i)*log(sigmoid(X(i,:)*theta)))-(1-y(i))*log(1-sigmoid(X(i,:)*theta));
end
J=J/m;
for j=2:size(theta)
J = J+(lambda*(theta(j)^2)/(2*m));
end
for j=1:size(theta)
for i=1:m
grad(j)=grad(j)+(sigmoid(X(i,:)*theta)-y(i))*X(i,j);
end
grad(j)=grad(j)/m;
end
for j=2:size(theta)
grad(j)=grad(j)+(lambda*theta(j))/m;
end
