Perform Hyperparameter Tuning on Linear Regression

[jash0803]

Objective:

• Optimize the Linear Regression model by performing hyperparameter tuning, despite it having fewer hyperparameters compared to other algorithms.

Tasks:

• Regularization Techniques:
  • Incorporate Ridge (L2) and Lasso (L1) regularization into the linear regression model to prevent overfitting.
• Hyperparameter Identification:
  • Identify hyperparameters such as the regularization strength parameter ( \alpha ) in Ridge and Lasso regression.
• Implement Grid Search:
  • Set up a grid of ( \alpha ) values to explore.
  • Use cross-validation to evaluate model performance for each ( \alpha ).
• Analysis:
  • Plot validation curves to visualize how changes in ( \alpha ) affect model performance.
  • Select the optimal hyperparameter values based on cross-validation scores.
• Documentation:
  • Explain the impact of regularization on model coefficients and performance.
  • Provide insights into the bias-variance trade-off observed during tuning.

Explanation:

• Hyperparameter tuning, even in models with few hyperparameters like linear regression, can significantly influence model performance. Regularization parameters control the complexity of the model and help in generalizing better to unseen data. This issue encourages exploring the delicate balance between underfitting and overfitting, enhancing the model's predictive capabilities.

Where can I find more repos for contribute in this?

[jash0803]

@IngaleChinmay04 you could improve the documentation of this repository. I could open up the issue.
