function [J, grad] = lrCostFunction(theta, X, y, lambda) %LRCOSTFUNCTION Compute cost and gradient for logistic regression with %regularization % J = LRCOSTFUNCTION(theta, X, y, lambda) computes the cost of using % theta as the parameter for regularized logistic regression and the % gradient of the cost w.r.t. to the parameters. % Initialize some useful values m = length(y); % number of training examples % You need to return the following variables correctly J = 0; grad = zeros(size(theta)); % ====================== YOUR CODE HERE ====================== % Instructions: Compute the cost of a particular choice of theta. % You should set J to the cost. % Compute the partial derivatives and set grad to the partial % derivatives of the cost w.r.t. each parameter in theta % % Hint: The computation of the cost function and gradients can be % efficiently vectorized. For example, consider the computation % % sigmoid(X * theta) % % Each row of the resulting matrix will contain the value of the % prediction for that example. You can make use of this to vectorize % the cost function and gradient computations. % J = 1/m * (-y'*log(sigmoid(X*theta)) - (1-y)'*log(1-sigmoid(X*theta))) ... + lambda/(2*m) * theta(2:end)' * theta(2:end); % Hint: When computing the gradient of the regularized cost function, % there're many possible vectorized solutions, but one solution % looks like: % grad = (unregularized gradient for logistic regression) % temp = theta; % temp(1) = 0; % because we don't add anything for j = 0 % grad = grad + YOUR_CODE_HERE (using the temp variable) % regularization_term = lambda/m * vertcat([0], theta(2:end)); grad = 1/m * X' * (sigmoid(X*theta) - y) + regularization_term; % ============================================================= grad = grad(:); end
