ex1_multi.m
梯度下降法
-> 预处理：特征缩放、均值归一、加全一列
-> 全零初始化 梯度下降
-> 成本收敛图
-> 单点预测（同样要经过“特征缩放 均值归一 加全一列”的预处理）
正规公式法：

% Exercise 1: Linear regression with multiple variables
%
% Instructions
% ------------
%
% This file contains code that helps you get started on the
% linear regression exercise.
%
% You will need to complete the following functions in this
% exericse:
%
% warmUpExercise.m
% plotData.m
% gradientDescent.m
% computeCost.m
% gradientDescentMulti.m
% computeCostMulti.m
% featureNormalize.m
% normalEqn.m
%
% For this part of the exercise, you will need to change some
% parts of the code below for various experiments (e.g., changing
% learning rates).
%
%% Initialization
%% ================ Part 1: Feature Normalization ================
%% Clear and Close Figures
clear ;close all; clc
fprintf('Loading data ...\n');
%% Load Data
data = load('ex1data2.txt');
X = data(:, 1:2);
y = data(:, 3);

% Scale features and set them to zero mean
fprintf('Normalizing Features ...\n');
[X mu sigma] = featureNormalize(X);
% Add intercept term to X
X = [ones(m, 1) X];
%% ================ Part 2: Gradient Descent ================
% ====================== YOUR CODE HERE ======================
% Instructions: We have provided you with the following starter
% code that runs gradient descent with a particular
% learning rate (alpha).
%
% Your task is to first make sure that your functions -
% computeCost and gradientDescent already work with
% this starter code and support multiple variables.
%
% After that, try running gradient descent with
% different values of alpha and see which one gives
% you the best result.
%
% Finally, you should complete the code at the end
% to predict the price of a 1650 sq-ft, 3 br house.
%
% Hint: By using the 'hold on' command, you can plot multiple
% graphs on the same figure.
%
% Hint: At prediction, make sure you do the same feature normalization.
%
fprintf('Running gradient descent ...\n');
% Choose some alpha value
alpha = 1;
num_iters = 400;
% Init Theta and Run Gradient Descent
theta = zeros(3, 1);
[theta, J_history] = gradientDescentMulti(X, y, theta, alpha, num_iters);
% Plot the convergence graph
figure;
plot(1:numel(J_history), J_history, '-b', 'LineWidth', 2);
xlabel('Number of iterations');
ylabel('Cost J');
% Display gradient descent's result
fprintf('Theta computed from gradient descent: \n');
fprintf(' %f \n', theta);
fprintf('\n');
% Estimate the price of a 1650 sq-ft, 3 br house
% ====================== YOUR CODE HERE ======================
% Recall that the first column of X is all-ones. Thus, it does
% not need to be normalized.
X_est=[1650 3];
X_est=(X_est-mu)./sigma;
X_est=[1 X_est];
price = 0; % You should change this
price = X_est*theta

fprintf(['Predicted price of a 1650 sq-ft, 3 br house ' ...
'(using gradient descent):\n $%f\n'], price);
fprintf('Program paused. Press enter to continue.\n');
pause;
%% ================ Part 3: Normal Equations ================
fprintf('Solving with normal equations...\n');
% ====================== YOUR CODE HERE ======================
% Instructions: The following code computes the closed form
% solution for linear regression using the normal
% equations. You should complete the code in
% normalEqn.m
%
% After doing so, you should complete this code
% to predict the price of a 1650 sq-ft, 3 br house.
%
%% Load Data
data = csvread('ex1data2.txt');
X = data(:, 1:2);

% ============================================================
fprintf(['Predicted price of a 1650 sq-ft, 3 br house ' ...

featureNormalize.m
特征缩放、均值归一
同时输出均值标准差（供预测时用，预测时对输入数据进行相同的预处理）（以后在测试集cv集也能用到）。
套公式。
function [X_norm, mu, sigma] = featureNormalize(X)
%FEATURENORMALIZE Normalizes the features in X
% FEATURENORMALIZE(X) returns a normalized version of X where
% the mean value of each feature is 0 and the standard deviation
% is 1. This is often a good preprocessing step to do when
% working with learning algorithms.
% You need to set these values correctly
X_norm = X;
mu = zeros(1, size(X, 2));
sigma = zeros(1, size(X, 2));
% ====================== YOUR CODE HERE ======================
% Instructions: First, for each feature dimension, compute the mean
% of the feature and subtract it from the dataset,
% storing the mean value in mu. Next, compute the
% standard deviation of each feature and divide
% each feature by it's standard deviation, storing
% the standard deviation in sigma.
%
% Note that X is a matrix where each column is a
% feature and each row is an example. You need
% to perform the normalization separately for
% each feature.
%
% Hint: You might find the 'mean' and 'std' functions useful.
%
mu=mean(X);
sigma=std(X);
X_norm=(X-mu)./sigma;
% ============================================================
end
gradientDescentMulti.m
梯度下降法
由于向量化带来的通用性，与单变量完全相同
function [theta, J_history] = gradientDescentMulti(X, y, theta, alpha, num_iters)
%GRADIENTDESCENTMULTI Performs gradient descent to learn theta
% theta = GRADIENTDESCENTMULTI(x, y, theta, alpha, num_iters) updates theta by
% taking num_iters gradient steps with learning rate alpha
% Initialize some useful values
m = length(y); % number of training examples
J_history = zeros(num_iters, 1);
for iter = 1:num_iters
% ====================== YOUR CODE HERE ======================
% Instructions: Perform a single gradient step on the parameter vector
% theta.
%
% Hint: While debugging, it can be useful to print out the values
% of the cost function (computeCostMulti) and gradient here.
%
theta=theta-alpha/m * X'*(X*theta-y) ;
% ============================================================
% Save the cost J in every iteration
J_history(iter) = computeCostMulti(X, y, theta);
end
end
normalEqn.m
正规公式法
套公式
function [theta] = normalEqn(X, y)
%NORMALEQN Computes the closed-form solution to linear regression
% NORMALEQN(X,y) computes the closed-form solution to linear
% regression using the normal equations.
theta = zeros(size(X, 2), 1);
% ====================== YOUR CODE HERE ======================
% Instructions: Complete the code to compute the closed form solution
% to linear regression and put the result in theta.
%
% ---------------------- Sample Solution ----------------------
theta=pinv(X'*X)*X'*y;
