Tip: Using surf and meshgrid to create surface plots
https://www.cac.cornell.edu/vw/matlab/tips7.aspx To complement its two-dimensional line plots, MATLAB also provides the ‘surf’ function for making three-dimensional (surface) plots. Plots of this sort are useful in many areas of science and engineering, in particular for making diagrams and teaching simple concepts in optimization and vector calculus. Unfortunately, creating surface plots has not always been completely straightforward in MATLAB, and actually required the helper function ‘meshgrid’ in order to work correctly. Newer versions have ameliorated some of this difficulty by accepting vector input arguments, but here we will describe the “classic” wayRead More
......An Introduction to Gradient Descent and Linear Regression
http://spin.atomicobject.com/2014/06/24/gradient-descent-linear-regression/ Gradient descent is one of those “greatest hits” algorithms that can offer a new perspective for solving problems. Unfortunately, it’s rarely taught in undergraduate computer science programs. In this post I’ll give an introduction to the gradient descent algorithm, and walk through an example that demonstrates how gradient descent can be used to solve machine learning problems such as linear regression. At a theoretical level, gradient descent is an algorithm that minimizes functions. Given a function defined by a set of parameters, gradient descent starts with an initial set ofRead More
......Stanford University Applicant Profile
The following statistics give a general picture of the freshman andtransfer applicants and admits. We caution you against a narrow interpretation of this data. We are providing it because we are often asked to evaluate an applicant’s chances of admission based on certain criteria. To make such a judgment without reading an entire application is impossible, but the following information may prove useful to you. Bear in mind that an applicant in the top of one group may not be in the same position on another measure and that the rigor ofRead More
