Regression
Predicting reaction performance in C-N cross-coupling using machine learning
Machine learning methods are becoming integral to scientific inquiry in numerous disciplines. We demonstrated that machine learning can be used to predict the performance of a synthetic reaction in multidimensional chemical space using data obtained via high-throughput experimentation. We created scripts to compute and extract atomic, molecular, and vibrational descriptors for the components of a palladium-catalyzed Buchwald-Hartwig cross-coupling of aryl halides with 4-methylaniline in the presence of various potentially inhibitory additives. Using these descriptors as inputs and reaction yield as output, we showed that a random forest algorithm provides significantly improved predictive performance over linear regression analysis. The random forest model was also successfully applied to sparse training sets and out-of-sample prediction, suggesting its value in facilitating adoption of synthetic methodology.
Distribution Regression Network
Kou, Connie, Lee, Hwee Kuan, Ng, Teck Khim
We introduce our Distribution Regression Network (DRN) which performs regression from input probability distributions to output probability distributions. Compared to existing methods, DRN learns with fewer model parameters and easily extends to multiple input and multiple output distributions. On synthetic and real-world datasets, DRN performs similarly or better than the state-of-the-art. The field of regression analysis is largely established with methods ranging from linear least squares to multilayer perceptrons. However, the scope of the regression is mostly limited to real valued inputs and outputs (Fiori et al., 2015; Marquardt, 1963). In this paper, we perform distribution-to- distribution regression where one regresses from input probability distributions to output probability distributions. Distribution-to-distribution regression (see work by Oliva et al. (2013)) has not been as widely studied compared to the related task of functional regression (Ferraty & Vieu, 2006). Nevertheless, regression on distributions has many relevant applications. In the study of human populations, probability distributions capture the collective characteristics of the people.
Data Science: Regression & Exploratory Data Analysis, Python
This course is designed to get students on board with data science and make them ready to solve industry problems. This course is a perfect blend of foundations of data science, industry standards, broader understanding of machine learning and practical applications. Special emphasis is given to regression analysis. Linear and logistic regression is still the workhorse of data science. These two topics are the most basic machine learning techniques that everyone should understand very well.
Advanced Data Science Techniques in SPSS Udemy
Stepwise regression analysis, a technique that helps you select the best subset of predictors for a regression analysis, when you have a big number of predictors. This way you can create regression models that are both parsimonious and effective. After finishing this course, you will be able to fit any nonlinear regression model using SPSS. K nearest neighbor, a very popular predictive technique used mostly for classification purposes. So you will learn how to predict the values of a categorical variable with this method.
Machine learning offers new way of designing chiral crystals: Logistic regression analysis model predicts ideal chiral crystal
Chirality describes the quality of possessing a mirror image to something else, but without the ability to superimpose it. Your left foot, for example, is a mirror of your right. They look similar, but they are not the same. This is why you cannot wear a left shoe on your right foot. The idea is similar in chemistry.
Machine learning offers new way of designing chiral crystals
Engineers and chemists at Hiroshima University successfully used the same technology at the core of facial recognition to design chiral crystals. This is the first study reporting the use of this technology, called logistic regression analysis, to predict which chemical groups are best for making chiral molecules. Results were published in Chemistry Letters. Chirality describes the quality of possessing a mirror image to something else, but without the ability to superimpose it. Your left foot, for example, is a mirror of your right.

Derivative free optimization via repeated classification
Hashimoto, Tatsunori B., Yadlowsky, Steve, Duchi, John C.
We develop an algorithm for minimizing a function using $n$ batched function value measurements at each of $T$ rounds by using classifiers to identify a function's sublevel set. We show that sufficiently accurate classifiers can achieve linear convergence rates, and show that the convergence rate is tied to the difficulty of active learning sublevel sets. Further, we show that the bootstrap is a computationally efficient approximation to the necessary classification scheme. The end result is a computationally efficient derivative-free algorithm requiring no tuning that consistently outperforms other approaches on simulations, standard benchmarks, real-world DNA binding optimization, and airfoil design problems whenever batched function queries are natural.
Differentially Private Confidence Intervals for Empirical Risk Minimization
Wang, Yue, Kifer, Daniel, Lee, Jaewoo
The process of data mining with differential privacy produces results that are affected by two types of noise: sampling noise due to data collection and privacy noise that is designed to prevent the reconstruction of sensitive information. In this paper, we consider the problem of designing confidence intervals for the parameters of a variety of differentially private machine learning models. The algorithms can provide confidence intervals that satisfy differential privacy (as well as the more recently proposed concentrated differential privacy) and can be used with existing differentially private mechanisms that train models using objective perturbation and output perturbation.
