linear vs nonlinear regression model
显示 更早的评论
This is a question in Mathworktutorial of Machine learning. I do think it is wrong!
Quiz (Select two) :Which of these is not a linear regression model? please say your reasons for all of them .
A) y = a + bx + cx^2
B) y = ax1 + bx2 + cx3
C) y = ax1x2 + bx2x3 + cx1x3
D) y = a + bsin(x1) + csin(x2)
E) y = a + bsin(cx)
F) y = a + bx + x ^c
the answer is y = a + bsin(cx) and y = a + bx + x ^c ( why y = a + bx + cx^2 and y = a + bsin(x1) + csin(x2) are not not non-linear?

y = a*x^2
is LINEAR in a. It is nonlinear in x. But that is not relevant to the question.

As I said in my comment, there are two different kinds of linearity. Consider the model:
y = a*exp(x)
Is y linear in x? A linear model has properties like:
y(k*x) == k*y(x)
y(x1+x2) = y(x1) + y(x2)
Is that the case here? NO!!!!!!!
An exponential function like that is not linear. y is clearly nonlinear in x. And that is why you are confused. You mistake one kind of nonlinearity for another.
That y is nonloinear in x, does not make the model nonlinear in a. It is truly linear in a. For example, we see that:
a1*exp(x) + a2*exp(x) = (a1 + a2)*exp(x)
Now, what were you asked?
"Which of these is not a linear regression model?"
So in a linear regression context versus a nonlinear regression context, which models are linear? Which models can have their paameters estimated using a LINEAR regression? That is all that matters here. It is not what you think that is at all relevant, since what you think is wrong. (That is why you are a student, after all.)

Whether a model is linear or not refers to the coefficients being solved for (a, b, c), not the data (x, x1, x2).

You can of course think that's how it is, or how it should be. But that is not how experts refer to it. (This is a common misunderstanding that people new to mathematical modeling have.)
See, for example, the Linear regression models section of the Linear Model wikipedia page. It explicitly states that the function of the independent variables can be nonlinear.
