Problem 5

We have seen that we can fit an SVM with a non-linear kernel in order to perform classification using a non-linear decision boundary. We will now see that we can also obtain a non-linear decision boundary by performing logistic regression using non-linear transformations of the features.

  1. Generate a data set with n = 500 and p = 2, such that the observations belong to two classes with a quadratic decision boundary between them. For instance, you can do this as follows:
set.seed(12)
x1 = runif(500)-0.5
x2 = runif(500)-0.5
y = 1 * (x1^2 - x2^2 > 0)
  1. Plot the observations, colored according to their class labels. Your plot should display X1 on the x-axis, and X2 on the yaxis.
plot(x1[y==0], x2[y==0], col="red", xlab="X1", ylab="X2", pch=18)
points(x1[y==1], x2[y==1], col="blue", pch=16)

  1. Fit a logistic regression model to the data, using X1 and X2 as predictors.
dat = data.frame(x1 = x1, x2 = x2, y = as.factor(y))
glm.fit = glm(y~., data = dat, family = "binomial")
summary(glm.fit)

## glm(formula = y ~ ., family = "binomial", data = dat)

  1. Apply this model to the training data in order to obtain a predicted class label for each training observation. Plot the observations, colored according to the predicted class labels. The decision boundary should be linear.
glm.prob = predict(glm.fit, newdata = dat, type = "response")
glm.pred = ifelse(glm.prob >= 0.5, 1, 0)
data.positive = dat[glm.pred == 1,]
data.negative = dat[glm.pred == 0,]
plot(data.positive$x1, data.positive$x2, col="red", xlab="X1", ylab="X2", pch=18)
points(data.negative$x1, data.negative$x2, col="blue", pch=16)

  1. Now fit a logistic regression model to the data using non-linear functions of X1 and X2 as predictors (e.g. X21, X1 × X2, log(X2) , and so forth).

The logistic model that I ran for this problem is - $ y = x^2_{1} +log(x_2)+(x1*x2) $ With the model the 2nd Degree Polynomial of x1 and log of x2 are significant variables to estimating y.

glm.fit2 = glm(y~poly(x1,2) + log(x2) + I(x1*x2), data=dat, family = "binomial")

  1. Apply this model to the training data in order to obtain a predicted class label for each training observation. Plot the observations, colored according to the predicted class labels. The decision boundary should be obviously non-linear. If it is not, then repeat (a)-(e) until you come up with an example in which the predicted class labels are obviously non-linear.

The decision boundary between this plot and the one above are completely different. The plot presented below cannot be split with a linear decision boundary.

glm.probs2 = predict(glm.fit2, newdata = dat, type = "response")
glm.pred2 = ifelse(glm.probs2 >= 0.5, 1, 0)
data.positive2 = dat[glm.pred2 == 1,]
data.negative2 = dat[glm.pred2 == 0,]
plot(data.positive2$x1, data.positive2$x2, col="red", xlab="X1", ylab="X2", pch=18)
points(data.negative2$x1, data.negative2$x2, col="blue", pch=16)

  1. Fit a support vector classifier to the data with X1 and X2 as predictors. Obtain a class prediction for each training observation. Plot the observations, colored according to the predicted class labels.

The Support Vector Classifier almost perfectly predictions the classes of the observations, but has blurriness towards the middle of the plot..

library(e1071)
svm.fit = svm(as.factor(y)~ x1 + x2, data = dat, kernal = "linear", cost = 0.1)
svm.pred = predict(svm.fit, dat)
svm.positive = dat[svm.pred == 1,]
svm.negative = dat[svm.pred == 0,]
plot(svm.positive$x1, svm.positive$x2, col="red", xlab="X1", ylab="X2", pch=18)
points(svm.negative$x1, svm.negative$x2, col="blue", pch=16)

  1. Fit a SVM using a non-linear kernel to the data. Obtain a class prediction for each training observation. Plot the observations, colored according to the predicted class labels.
