#005A Logistic Regression from scratch Master Data Science

In this post we will talk about applying gradient descent on \(m\) training examples. Now the question is how we can define what gradient descent is? A gradient descent is an efficient optimization algorithm that attempts to find a global minimum of a function. It also enables a model to calculate the gradient or direction that the model should take to reduce errors (differences between actual \(y\) and predicted \(\hat{y}\)). Now let's remind ourselves what the cost function is?
