Polynomial Regression Using TensorFlow

In this tutorial you will learn about polynomial regression and how you can implement it in Tensorflow.

In this, we will be performing polynomial regression using 5 types of equations -

Linear
Quadratic
Cubic
Quartic
Quintic

Regression

What is Regression?

Regression is a statistical measurement that is used to try to determine the relationship between a dependent variable (often denoted by Y), and series of varying variables (called independent variables, often denoted by X ).

What is Polynomial Regression

This is a form of Regression Analysis where the relationship between Y and X is denoted as the nth degree/power of X. Polynomial regression even fits a non-linear relationship (e.g when the points don't form a straight line).

Imports

import tensorflow.compat.v1 as tf
+tf.disable_v2_behavior()
+import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
+import numpy as np
+import pandas as pd

Dataset

Creating Random Data

Even though in this tutorial we will use a Position Vs Salary datasset, it is important to know how to create synthetic data

To create 50 values spaced evenly between 0 and 50, we use NumPy's linspace funtion

linspace(lower_limit, upper_limit, no_of_observations)

x = np.linspace(0, 50, 50)
+y = np.linspace(0, 50, 50)
+
+
+

We use the following function to add noise to the data, so that our values

x += np.random.uniform(-4, 4, 50)
+y += np.random.uniform(-4, 4, 50)
+
+
+

Position vs Salary Dataset

We will be using https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tNL4jxZEfpaP4oflfSn6pIHJX7Pachm9/view (Salary vs Position Dataset)

!wget --no-check-certificate 'https://docs.google.com/uc?export=download&id=1tNL4jxZEfpaP4oflfSn6pIHJX7Pachm9' -O data.csv
+
+
+

df = pd.read_csv("data.csv")
+
+
+

df # this gives us a preview of the dataset we are working with
+
+
+

| Position          | Level | Salary  |
+|-------------------|-------|---------|
+| Business Analyst  | 1     | 45000   |
+| Junior Consultant | 2     | 50000   |
+| Senior Consultant | 3     | 60000   |
+| Manager           | 4     | 80000   |
+| Country Manager   | 5     | 110000  |
+| Region Manager    | 6     | 150000  |
+| Partner           | 7     | 200000  |
+| Senior Partner    | 8     | 300000  |
+| C-level           | 9     | 500000  |
+| CEO               | 10    | 1000000 |
+
+
+

We convert the salary column as the ordinate (y-cordinate) and level column as the abscissa

abscissa = df["Level"].to_list() # abscissa = [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]
+ordinate = df["Salary"].to_list() # ordinate = [45000,50000,60000,80000,110000,150000,200000,300000,500000,1000000]
+
+
+

n = len(abscissa) # no of observations
+plt.scatter(abscissa, ordinate)
+plt.ylabel('Salary')
+plt.xlabel('Position')
+plt.title("Salary vs Position")
+plt.show()
+
+
+

Defining Stuff

X = tf.placeholder("float")
+Y = tf.placeholder("float")
+
+
+

Defining Variables

We first define all the coefficients and constant as tensorflow variables haveing a random intitial value

a = tf.Variable(np.random.randn(), name = "a")
+b = tf.Variable(np.random.randn(), name = "b")
+c = tf.Variable(np.random.randn(), name = "c")
+d = tf.Variable(np.random.randn(), name = "d")
+e = tf.Variable(np.random.randn(), name = "e")
+f = tf.Variable(np.random.randn(), name = "f")
+
+
+

Model Configuration

learning_rate = 0.2
+no_of_epochs = 25000
+
+
+

Equations

deg1 = a*X + b
+deg2 = a*tf.pow(X,2) + b*X + c
+deg3 = a*tf.pow(X,3) + b*tf.pow(X,2) + c*X + d
+deg4 = a*tf.pow(X,4) + b*tf.pow(X,3) + c*tf.pow(X,2) + d*X + e
+deg5 = a*tf.pow(X,5) + b*tf.pow(X,4) + c*tf.pow(X,3) + d*tf.pow(X,2) + e*X + f
+
+
+

Cost Function

We use the Mean Squared Error Function

mse1 = tf.reduce_sum(tf.pow(deg1-Y,2))/(2*n)
+mse2 = tf.reduce_sum(tf.pow(deg2-Y,2))/(2*n)
+mse3 = tf.reduce_sum(tf.pow(deg3-Y,2))/(2*n)
+mse4 = tf.reduce_sum(tf.pow(deg4-Y,2))/(2*n)
+mse5 = tf.reduce_sum(tf.pow(deg5-Y,2))/(2*n)
+
+
+

Optimizer

We use the AdamOptimizer for the polynomial functions and GradientDescentOptimizer for the linear function

optimizer1 = tf.train.GradientDescentOptimizer(learning_rate).minimize(mse1)
+optimizer2 = tf.train.AdamOptimizer(learning_rate).minimize(mse2)
+optimizer3 = tf.train.AdamOptimizer(learning_rate).minimize(mse3)
+optimizer4 = tf.train.AdamOptimizer(learning_rate).minimize(mse4)
+optimizer5 = tf.train.AdamOptimizer(learning_rate).minimize(mse5)
+
+
+

init=tf.global_variables_initializer()
+
+
+

Model Predictions

For each type of equation first we make the model predict the values of the coefficient(s) and constant, once we get these values we use it to predict the Y values using the X values. We then plot it to compare the actual data and predicted line.

Notes

Overfitting

> Overfitting refers to a model that models the training data too well.Overfitting happens when a model learns the detail and noise in the training data to the extent that it negatively impacts the performance of the model on new data. This means that the noise or random fluctuations in the training data is picked up and learned as concepts by the model. The problem is that these concepts do not apply to new data and negatively impact the models ability to generalize.

Source: Machine Learning Mastery

Basically if you train your machine learning model on a small dataset for a really large number of epochs, the model will learn all the deformities/noise in the data and will actually think that it is a normal part. Therefore when it will see some new data, it will discard that new data as noise and will impact the accuracy of the model in a negative manner
