Multinomial logistic regression is known by a variety of other names, including polytomous LR, [2] [3] multiclass LR, softmax regression, multinomial logit (mlogit), the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) classifier, and the conditional maximum entropy model.
A group of 20 students spends between 0 and 6 hours studying for an exam. How does the number of hours spent studying affect the probability of the student passing the exam? The reason for using logistic regression for this problem is that the values of the dependent variable, pass and fail, while represented by "1" and "0", are not cardinal ...
In econometrics, the seemingly unrelated regressions (SUR) [1]: 306 [2]: 279 [3]: 332 or seemingly unrelated regression equations (SURE) [4] [5]: 2 model, proposed by Arnold Zellner in (1962), is a generalization of a linear regression model that consists of several regression equations, each having its own dependent variable and potentially ...
Here x ≥ 0 means that each component of the vector x should be non-negative, and ‖·‖ 2 denotes the Euclidean norm. Non-negative least squares problems turn up as subproblems in matrix decomposition, e.g. in algorithms for PARAFAC [2] and non-negative matrix/tensor factorization. [3] [4] The latter can be considered a generalization of ...
The second term after the equal sign is the omitted-variable bias in this case, which is non-zero if the omitted variable z is correlated with any of the included variables in the matrix X (that is, if X′Z does not equal a vector of zeroes).
A variable omitted from the model may have a relationship with both the dependent variable and one or more of the independent variables (causing omitted-variable bias). [3] An irrelevant variable may be included in the model (although this does not create bias, it involves overfitting and so can lead to poor predictive performance).
A regularization term (or regularizer) () is added to a loss function: = ((),) + where is an underlying loss function that describes the cost of predicting () when the label is , such as the square loss or hinge loss; and is a parameter which controls the importance of the regularization term.
[1] [2] In order for the model to remain stationary , the roots of its characteristic polynomial must lie outside the unit circle. For example, processes in the AR(1) model with | φ 1 | ≥ 1 {\displaystyle |\varphi _{1}|\geq 1} are not stationary because the root of 1 − φ 1 B = 0 {\displaystyle 1-\varphi _{1}B=0} lies within the unit circle.
