Poisson Regressor Algorithm

Poisson regression is a generalized linear model used for modeling count data, assuming a Poisson distribution for the response variable. The algorithm involves training with maximum likelihood estimates, evaluating model fit, and interpreting coefficients for predictions. Additionally, the document outlines the Gradient Boosting algorithm, which builds predictive models sequentially to minimize errors and improve accuracy through iterative learning.

Poisson Regressor Algorithm

Poisson regression is used to model count data, where the response variable represents the
number of occurrences of an event. It's a type of generalized linear model (GLM) that
assumes the response variable follows a Poisson distribution. Data: Count data (non-negative
integers), check for Poisson distribution (mean ≈ variance). Model: GLM with log link,
specify predictors. Train: Maximum likelihood estimates coefficients. Evaluate: Check model
fit, overdispersion, and predictor significance. Use: Interpret coefficients (log
scale), predict counts.

1. Gradient Boosting Algorithm: Builds predictive models sequentially, where each


new model corrects the errors of the previous ones. Optimizes the model by
minimizing a loss function using gradient descent, thus "boosting" the
model's accuracy.

Steps involved:

a. Initial Guess: Start with a simple prediction.

b. Find Errors: Calculate the difference between predictions and actual values.

c. Learn Errors: Build a small tree to predict those errors.

d. Improve Guess: Add the tree's predictions (scaled by a learning rate) to the
previous guess.

e. Repeat: Keep repeating steps 2-4, focusing on remaining errors.

f. Final Result: Sum up all the three predictions for the final output.
