function [error_train, error_val] = ... learningCurve(X, y, Xval, yval, lambda) %LEARNINGCURVE Generates the train and cross validation set errors needed %to plot a learning curve % [error_train, error_val] = ... % LEARNINGCURVE(X, y, Xval, yval, lambda) returns the train and % cross validation set errors for a learning curve. In particular, % it returns two vectors of the same length - error_train and % error_val. Then, error_train(i) contains the training error for % i examples (and similarly for error_val(i)). % % In this function, you will compute the train and test errors for % dataset sizes from 1 up to m. In practice, when working with larger % datasets, you might want to do this in larger intervals. % % Number of training examples m = size(X, 1); % You need to return these values correctly error_train = zeros(m, 1); error_val = zeros(m, 1); % ====================== YOUR CODE HERE ====================== % Instructions: Fill in this function to return training errors in % error_train and the cross validation errors in error_val. % i.e., error_train(i) and % error_val(i) should give you the errors % obtained after training on i examples. % % Note: You should evaluate the training error on the first i training % examples (i.e., X(1:i, :) and y(1:i)). % % For the cross-validation error, you should instead evaluate on % the _entire_ cross validation set (Xval and yval). % % Note: If you are using your cost function (linearRegCostFunction) % to compute the training and cross validation error, you should % call the function with the lambda argument set to 0. % Do note that you will still need to use lambda when running % the training to obtain the theta parameters. % % Hint: You can loop over the examples with the following: % for i = 1:m % Compute train/cross validation errors using training examples % X(1:i, :) and y(1:i), storing the result in % error_train(i) and error_val(i) X_ = X(1:i,:); y_ = y(1:i); % Train with regularization lambda = 1; theta = trainLinearReg(X_, y_, lambda); % Compute the error with lambda = 0 lambda = 0; error_train(i) = linearRegCostFunction(X_, y_, theta, lambda); error_val(i) = linearRegCostFunction(Xval, yval, theta, lambda); end % % ---------------------- Sample Solution ---------------------- % for i = 1:m % % Compute train/cross validation errors using training examples % % X(1:i, :) and y(1:i), storing the result in % % error_train(i) and error_val(i) % .... % ------------------------------------------------------------- % ========================================================================= end
