Logistic Regression

Quiz, 5 questions

point

1.
Suppose that you have trained a logistic regression classifier, and it outputs on a new example x a prediction
hθ (x) = 0.2. This means (check all that apply):

Our estimate for P(y = 0|x; θ) is 0.2.

Our estimate for P(y = 0|x; θ) is 0.8.

Our estimate for P(y = 1|x; θ) is 0.2.

Our estimate for P(y = 1|x; θ) is 0.8.

2.
Suppose you have the following training set, and fit a logistic regression classifier
hθ (x) = g(θ0 + θ1 x1 + θ2 x2 ).

Which of the following are true? Check all that apply.

Adding polynomial features (e.g., instead using


hθ (x) = g(θ0 + θ1 x1 + θ2 x2 + θ3 x21 + θ4 x1 x2 + θ5 x22 ) ) could increase how well we can fit the
training data.

At the optimal value of θ (e.g., found by fminunc), we will have J(θ) ≥ 0.

Adding polynomial features (e.g., instead using


hθ (x) = g(θ0 + θ1 x1 + θ2 x2 + θ3 x21 + θ4 x1 x2 + θ5 x22 ) ) would increase J(θ) because we are now
summing over more terms.

If we train gradient descent for enough iterations, for some examples x(i) in the training set it is
possible to obtain hθ (x(i) ) > 1.

∂ 1 m (i) (i) (i)
For logistic regression, the gradient is given by ∂θj J(θ) = m ∑ i=1 (h θ (x ) − y )xj . Which of these is a
correct gradient descent update for logistic regression with a learning rate of α? Check all that apply.

m (i)
θj := θj − α m1 ∑i=1 (θT x − y (i) ) xj (simultaneously update for all j ).

m
θ := θ − α m1 ∑i=1 (hθ (x(i) ) − y (i) )x(i) .

θ := θ − α m1 ∑i=1 ( − y (i) ) x(i) .


m 1
1+e−θT x(i)

m
θ := θ − α m1 ∑i=1 (θT x − y (i) ) x(i) .

4.
Which of the following statements are true? Check all that apply.

The sigmoid function g(z) = 1+e−z is never greater than one (> 1).

Linear regression always works well for classification if you classify by using a threshold on the
prediction made by linear regression.

For logistic regression, sometimes gradient descent will converge to a local minimum (and fail to find
the global minimum). This is the reason we prefer more advanced optimization algorithms such as
fminunc (conjugate gradient/BFGS/L-BFGS/etc).

The cost function J(θ) for logistic regression trained with m ≥ 1 examples is always greater than or
equal to zero.
