R plot with ggplot2 linear regression with a transformed dependent variable
So my problem is quite simple, I want to plot the exponential regression of my data, so far what I've done was plot the polynomial regression :
ggplot(data = mydataANOVA, aes(x = TpsenJour, y = PrptionJourAuDelaDe, color = Type_Contrat))+

Neural Networks Regression : scaling the outputs or using a linear layer?
I am currently trying to use Neural Network to make regression predictions.
However, I don't know what is the best way to handle this, as I read that there were 2 different ways to do regression predictions with a NN.
1) Some websites/articles…

Why does IPOPT evaluate objective function despite breaching constraints?
I'm using IPOPT within Julia. My objective function will throw an error for certain parameter values (specifically, though I assume this doesn't matter, it involves a Cholesky decomposition of a covariance matrix and so requires that the covariance…

Building a non linear model with ReLUs in TensorFlow
I'm trying to build a simple non-linear model in TensorFlow. I have created this sample data:
x_data = np.arange(-100, 100).astype(np.float32)
y_data = np.abs(x_data + 20.)
I guess this shape should be easily reconstructed using a couple of…

How to get initial values for fitting a Gompertz model with fixed y-intercept in nls?
I am trying to fit growth data from juvenile geese to the Gompertz model, but I would like to fix it at the y-intercept,
which would correspond in this case to body mass of 72.1 for t = 0. Taking the parametization form used in SSgompertz in nls,
I…

How should decide about using linear regression model or non linear regression model
How should one decide between using a linear regression model or non-linear regression model?
My goal is to predict Y.
In case of simple x and y dataset I could easily decide which regression model should be used by plotting a scatter plot.
In case…

How to choose the degree of a Hypothesis function?
In a normal machine learning problem you get many features(eg:- if you are making an image recogniser), so when there are many features you can't visualise the data(you can't plot a graph). Without plotting a graph is there a way to determine what…
