Linear regression analysis with string/categorical features (variables)?

Yes, you will have to convert everything to numbers. That requires thinking about what these attributes represent. Usually there are three possibilities: One-Hot encoding for categorical data Arbitrary numbers for ordinal data Use something like group means for categorical data (e. g. mean prices for city districts). You have to be carefull to not infuse … Read more

why gradient descent when we can solve linear regression analytically

When you use the normal equations for solving the cost function analytically you have to compute: Where X is your matrix of input observations and y your output vector. The problem with this operation is the time complexity of calculating the inverse of a nxn matrix which is O(n^3) and as n increases it can … Read more

Accuracy Score ValueError: Can’t Handle mix of binary and continuous target

Despite the plethora of wrong answers here that attempt to circumvent the error by numerically manipulating the predictions, the root cause of your error is a theoretical and not computational issue: you are trying to use a classification metric (accuracy) in a regression (i.e. numeric prediction) model (LinearRegression), which is meaningless. Just like the majority … Read more

Linear Regression and group by in R

Since 2009, dplyr has been released which actually provides a very nice way to do this kind of grouping, closely resembling what SAS does. library(dplyr) d <- data.frame(state=rep(c(‘NY’, ‘CA’), c(10, 10)), year=rep(1:10, 2), response=c(rnorm(10), rnorm(10))) fitted_models = d %>% group_by(state) %>% do(model = lm(response ~ year, data = .)) # Source: local data frame [2 … Read more

Multiple linear regression in Python

sklearn.linear_model.LinearRegression will do it: from sklearn import linear_model clf = linear_model.LinearRegression() clf.fit([[getattr(t, ‘x%d’ % i) for i in range(1, 8)] for t in texts], [t.y for t in texts]) Then clf.coef_ will have the regression coefficients. sklearn.linear_model also has similar interfaces to do various kinds of regularizations on the regression.

How to do exponential and logarithmic curve fitting in Python? I found only polynomial fitting

For fitting y = A + B log x, just fit y against (log x). >>> x = numpy.array([1, 7, 20, 50, 79]) >>> y = numpy.array([10, 19, 30, 35, 51]) >>> numpy.polyfit(numpy.log(x), y, 1) array([ 8.46295607, 6.61867463]) # y ≈ 8.46 log(x) + 6.62 For fitting y = AeBx, take the logarithm of both … Read more
