function [J, grad] = costFunction(theta, X, y) %COSTFUNCTION Compute cost and gradient for logistic regression % J = COSTFUNCTION(theta, X, y) computes the cost of using theta as the % parameter for 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 % % Note: grad should have the same dimensions as theta % J = 1/m * (-y'*log(sigmoid(X*theta)) - (1-y)'*log(1-sigmoid(X*theta))); grad = 1/m * X' * (sigmoid(X*theta) - y); % ============================================================= end
