function [J, grad] = linearRegCostFunction(X, y, theta, lambda) %LINEARREGCOSTFUNCTION Compute cost and gradient for regularized linear %regression with multiple variables % [J, grad] = LINEARREGCOSTFUNCTION(X, y, theta, lambda) computes the % cost of using theta as the parameter for linear regression to fit the % data points in X and y. Returns the cost in J and the gradient in grad % 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 and gradient of regularized linear % regression for a particular choice of theta. % % You should set J to the cost and grad to the gradient. % J = 1/(2*m) * sum(((X*theta)-y).^2) ... + lambda/(2*m) * sum(theta(2:end).^2); grad = 1/m * X' * ((X*theta)-y) + (lambda/m) * [0; theta(2:end)]; % ========================================================================= grad = grad(:); end
