Beginners Guide To Linear Regression In Python

#artificialintelligence

Machine Learning is the scientific process of developing an algorithm that learns the pattern from training data and performs inferences on test data.


Logistic Regression:

#artificialintelligence

Here we take the inference of the summary table, that Pseudo R-squ proves the accuracy of the model, where LLR p-value shows that at least one feature contributes into the model since p-value 0.05, blue mark shows the impact of features into the model while green mark gives the explicit explanation of each feature's contribution. The same way we predict here as well.


Understanding Uncertainty in Bayesian Deep Learning

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Neural Linear Models (NLM) are deep Bayesian models that produce predictive uncertainty by learning features from the data and then performing Bayesian linear regression over these features. Despite their popularity, few works have focused on formally evaluating the predictive uncertainties of these models. Furthermore, existing works point out the difficulties of encoding domain knowledge in models like NLMs, making them unsuitable for applications where interpretability is required. In this work, we show that traditional training procedures for NLMs can drastically underestimate uncertainty in data-scarce regions. We identify the underlying reasons for this behavior and propose a novel training method that can both capture useful predictive uncertainties as well as allow for incorporation of domain knowledge.


Top 6 Regression Techniques a Data Science Specialist Needs to Know

#artificialintelligence

Perhaps most organizations already know what to do with the data gathered. The data is used to make better decisions at work, right? But do you have all the skills needed to parse swaths of data thrown at you? Well, you might not need to do the digging all by yourself, but you do need to know how to correctly interpret the analysis created by your data science team. Therefore, among the best type of data analysis is regression analysis.

Multiply Robust Causal Mediation Analysis with Continuous Treatments

arXiv.org Machine Learning

In many applications, researchers are interested in the direct and indirect causal effects of an intervention on an outcome of interest. Mediation analysis offers a rigorous framework for the identification and estimation of such causal quantities. In the case of binary treatment, efficient estimators for the direct and indirect effects are derived by Tchetgen Tchetgen and Shpitser (2012). These estimators are based on influence functions and possess desirable multiple robustness properties. However, they are not readily applicable when treatments are continuous, which is the case in several settings, such as drug dosage in medical applications. In this work, we extend the influence function-based estimator of Tchetgen Tchetgen and Shpitser (2012) to deal with continuous treatments by utilizing a kernel smoothing approach. We first demonstrate that our proposed estimator preserves the multiple robustness property of the estimator in Tchetgen Tchetgen and Shpitser (2012). Then we show that under certain mild regularity conditions, our estimator is asymptotically normal. Our estimation scheme allows for high-dimensional nuisance parameters that can be estimated at slower rates than the target parameter. Additionally, we utilize cross-fitting, which allows for weaker smoothness requirements for the nuisance functions.

Classifying variety of customer's online engagement for churn prediction with mixed-penalty logistic regression

arXiv.org Machine Learning

Using big data to analyze consumer behavior can provide effective decision-making tools for preventing customer attrition (churn) in customer relationship management (CRM). Focusing on a CRM dataset with several different categories of factors that impact customer heterogeneity (i.e., usage of self-care service channels, duration of service, and responsiveness to marketing actions), we provide new predictive analytics of customer churn rate based on a machine learning method that enhances the classification of logistic regression by adding a mixed penalty term. The proposed penalized logistic regression can prevent overfitting when dealing with big data and minimize the loss function when balancing the cost from the median (absolute value) and mean (squared value) regularization. We show the analytical properties of the proposed method and its computational advantage in this research. In addition, we investigate the performance of the proposed method with a CRM data set (that has a large number of features) under different settings by efficiently eliminating the disturbance of (1) least important features and (2) sensitivity from the minority (churn) class. Our empirical results confirm the expected performance of the proposed method in full compliance with the common classification criteria (i.e., accuracy, precision, and recall) for evaluating machine learning methods.


Modeling the EdNet Dataset with Logistic Regression

Many of these challenges are won by neural network models created by full-time artificial intelligence scientists. Due to this origin, they have a black-box character that makes their use and application less clear to learning scientists. We describe our experience with competition from the perspective of educational data mining, a field founded in the learning sciences and connected with roots in psychology and statistics. We describe our efforts from the perspectives of learning scientists and the challenges to our methods, some real and some imagined. We also discuss some basic results in the Kaggle system and our thoughts on how those results may have been improved. Finally, we describe how learner model predictions are used to make pedagogical decisions for students. Their practical use entails a) model predictions and b) a decision rule (based on the predictions). We point out how increased model accuracy can be of limited practical utility, especially when paired with simple decision rules and argue instead for the need to further investigate optimal decision rules.


Top Databases Supporting in-Database Machine Learning - ELE Times

#artificialintelligence

In my August 2020 article, "How to choose a cloud Machine Learning platform," my first guideline for choosing a platform was, "Be close to your data." Keeping the code near the data is necessary to keep the latency low, since the speed of light limits transmission speeds. After all, machine learning -- especially deep learning -- tends to go through all your data multiple times (each time through is called an epoch). I said at the time that the ideal case for very large data sets is to build the model where the data already resides, so that no mass data transmission is needed. Several databases support that to a limited extent.
