思考
对于逻辑回归,损失函数比线性回归模型复杂了一些。首先需要通过sigmoid函数,将线性回归的结果转化为0至1之间的概率值。然后写出每个样本的发生概率(似然),那么所有样本的发生概率就是每个样本发生概率的乘积。为了求导方便,我们对所有样本的发生概率取对数,保持其单调性的同时,可以将连乘变为求和(加法的求导公式比乘法的求导公式简单很多)。对数极大似然估计方法的目标函数是最大化所有样本的发生概率;机器学习习惯将目标函数称为损失,所以将损失定义为对数似然的相反数,以转化为极小值问题。
我们提到逻辑回归时,一般指的是二分类问题;然而这套思想是可以很轻松就拓展为多分类问题的,在机器学习领域一般称为softmax回归模型。本文的作者是统计学与计量经济学背景,因此一般将其称为MNL模型。
