function plotDecisionBoundary(theta, X, y) %PLOTDECISIONBOUNDARY Plots the data points X and y into a new figure with %the decision boundary defined by theta % PLOTDECISIONBOUNDARY(theta, X,y) plots the data points with + for the % positive examples and o for the negative examples. X is assumed to be % a either % 1) Mx3 matrix, where the first column is an all-ones column for the % intercept. % 2) MxN, N>3 matrix, where the first column is all-ones % Plot Data plotData(X(:,2:3), y); hold on if size(X, 2) <= 3 % Only need 2 points to define a line, so choose two endpoints plot_x = [min(X(:,2))-2, max(X(:,2))+2]; % Calculate the decision boundary line plot_y = (-1./theta(3)).*(theta(2).*plot_x + theta(1)); % Plot, and adjust axes for better viewing plot(plot_x, plot_y) % Legend, specific for the exercise legend('Admitted', 'Not admitted', 'Decision Boundary') axis([30, 100, 30, 100]) else % Here is the grid range u = linspace(-1, 1.5, 50); v = linspace(-1, 1.5, 50); z = zeros(length(u), length(v)); % Evaluate z = theta*x over the grid for i = 1:length(u) for j = 1:length(v) z(i,j) = mapFeature(u(i), v(j))*theta; end end z = z'; % important to transpose z before calling contour % Plot z = 0 % Notice you need to specify the range [0, 0] contour(u, v, z, [0, 0], 'LineWidth', 2) end hold off end
