TensorFlow Machine Learning Cookbook

By: Nick McClure

Overview of this book

TensorFlow is an open source software library for Machine Intelligence. The independent recipes in this book will teach you how to use TensorFlow for complex data computations and will let you dig deeper and gain more insights into your data than ever before. You’ll work through recipes on training models, model evaluation, sentiment analysis, regression analysis, clustering analysis, artificial neural networks, and deep learning – each using Google’s machine learning library TensorFlow. This guide starts with the fundamentals of the TensorFlow library which includes variables, matrices, and various data sources. Moving ahead, you will get hands-on experience with Linear Regression techniques with TensorFlow. The next chapters cover important high-level concepts such as neural networks, CNN, RNN, and NLP. Once you are familiar and comfortable with the TensorFlow ecosystem, the last chapter will show you how to take it to production.

Implementing Deming regression


In this recipe, we will implement Deming regression (total regression), which means we will need a different way to measure the distance between the model line and data points.

Getting ready

If least squares linear regression minimizes the vertical distance to the line, Deming regression minimizes the total distance to the line. This type of regression minimizes the error in the y values and the x values. See the following figure for a comparison:

Figure 8: Here we illustrate the difference between regular linear regression and Deming regression. Linear regression on the left minimizes the vertical distance to the line, and Deming regression minimizes the total distance to the line.

To implement Deming regression, we have to modify the loss function. The loss function in regular linear regression minimizes the vertical distance. Here, we want to minimize the total distance. Given a slope and intercept of a line, the perpendicular distance to a point is a known...
