Can reducing information improve regression prediction?
Variable A is either 0 or 1. It is 0 if the sum of variables a + b + c + d … is less than some constant threshold, and is 1 if the sum of variables a + b + c + d … is greater than some constant ...

Visualizing the equation for separating hyperplane
I was wondering if I can visualize with the example the fact that for all points $x$ on the separating hyperplane, the following equation holds true:
$$w^T.x+w_0=0\quad\quad\quad \text{... equation (1)...

Decision boundary in a classification task
I have 1000 data points from the bivariate normal distribution $\mathcal{N}$ with mean $(0,0)$ and variance $\sigma_1^2=\sigma_2^2=10$ with the covariances being $0$. Also there are 20 more points ...

questions about logistic regression
In the following Linear Regression discussion I didn't understand a few things:
So my questions are:
In the third slide:
What does this probability means $P\left(y_i|x_i\right)$ and accordingly what ...

Kernel selections in SVM
I want to understand the kernel selection rationale in SVM.
Some basic things that I understand is if data is linear, then we must go for linear kernel and if it is non-linear, then others.
But the ...

Is a data set considered to be linearly separable if it can only be separated by multiple hyperplanes?
For example, on the linear separability Wikipedia article, the following example is given:
They say "The following example would need two straight lines and thus is not linearly separable".
On the ...
