Regression |
Given a table with point values (x, y) obtained from a mathematical model or from a physical process, the process of regression can be used to estimate any value of y given a value of x. A linear regression indicates that the variable y is a linear function of the variable x. If the scalar x is replaced by the vector x, then y is a linear combination of the values of x in the vector x. |
Regression in the output Layer |
If the inverse of the activation function is applied to the target, it is possible to create a system of linear equations to find the weights in the output layer. This process is called regression. This system of equations may be solved by the method of Gauss Jordan; however, a better solution can be obtained using the method of Singular Value Decomposition. |
Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) |
Basic linear algebra indicates that a matrix A where number of rows M is greater than or equal to the number of columns, can be written as the product of an orthogonal matrix U of size MxN, a diagonal matrix S with zero or positive elements, and the transposed of a orthogonal matrix V of size NxN as shown below. |
Problem 1 |
Proof that the output weights of the ANN of the figure can be found as shown. Suppose that the activation function is z =tanh(ay). |
Problem 2 |
Find the numeric values of Y in the neural network shown below when the activation function is z = logsig(y). |
Problem 3 |
Use Matlab to perform the Singular Value Decomposition of the matrix as shown below. |

A = [0, 0, 1; 0, 1, 1; 1, 0, 1; 1, 1, 1]; [U, S, V] = svd(A, 0); |
Problem 4 |
(a) Find the value of the weights of the output layer. As S is a diagonal matrix its inverse can be computed by finding the inverse of the elements in the diagonal. (b) Manually test the weights to verify that they produce the desired output. |
