Here is circles.m:
function [ h ] = circles(x,y,r,varargin)
% h = circles(x,y,r,varargin) plots circles of radius r at points x and y.

%% Syntax
% circles(x,y,r)
% circles(...,'points',numberOfPoints)
% circles(...,'rotation',degreesRotation)
% circles(...,'ColorProperty',ColorValue)
% circles(...,'LineProperty',LineValue)
% h = circles(...)
%
%% Description
%
% circles(x,y,r) plots circle(s) of radius or radii r centered at points given by
% x and y. Inputs x, y, and r may be any combination of scalar,
% vector, or 2D matrix, but dimensions of all nonscalar inputs must agree.
%
% circles(...,'points',numberOfPoints) allows specification of how many points to use
% for the outline of each circle. Default value is 1000, but this may be
% increased to increase plotting resolution. Or you may specify a small
% number (e.g. 4 to plot a square, 5 to plot a pentagon, etc.).
%
% circles(...,'rotation',degreesRotation) rotates the shape by a given
% degreesRotation, which can be a scalar or a matrix. This is useless for
% circles, but may be desired for polygons with a discernible number of corner points.
%
% circles(...,'ColorProperty',ColorValue) allows declaration of
% 'facecolor' or 'facealpha'
% as name-value pairs. Try declaring any fill property as name-value pairs.
%
% circles(...,'LineProperty',LineValue) allows declaration of 'edgecolor',
% 'linewidth', etc.
%
% h = circles(...) returns the handle(s) h of the plotted object(s).

%% EXAMPLES:
%
% Example 1:
% circles(5,10,3)
%
% % Example 2:
% x = 2:7;
% y = [5,15,12,25,3,18];
% r = [3 4 5 5 7 3];
% figure
% circles(x,y,r)
%
% % Example 3:
% figure
% circles(1:10,5,2)
%
% % Example 4:
% figure
% circles(5,15,1:5,'facecolor','none')
%
% % Example 5:
% figure
% circles(5,10,3,'facecolor','green')
%
% % Example 6:
% figure
% h = circles(5,10,3,'edgecolor',[.5 .2 .9])
%
% % Example 7:
% lat = repmat((10:-1:1)',1,10);
% lon = repmat(1:10,10,1);
% r = .4;
% figure
% h1 = circles(lon,lat,r,'linewidth',4,'edgecolor','m','facecolor',[.6 .4 .8]);
% hold on;
% h2 = circles(1:.5:10,((1:.5:10).^2)/10,.12,'edgecolor','k','facecolor','none');
% axis equal
%
% % Example 8: Circles have corners
% This script approximates circles with 1000 points. If all those points
% are too complex for your Pentium-II, you can reduce the number of points
% used to make each circle. If 1000 points is not high enough resolution,
% you can increase the number of points. Or if you'd like to draw
% triangles or squares, or pentagons, you can significantly reduce the
% number of points. Let's try drawing a stop sign:
%
% figure
% h = circles(1,1,10,'points',8,'color','red');
% axis equal
% % and we see that our stop sign needs to be rotated a little bit, so we'll
% % delete the one we drew and try again:
% delete(h)
% h = circles(1,1,10,'points',8,'color','red','rot',45/2);
% text(1,1,'STOP','fontname','helvetica CY',...
% 'horizontalalignment','center','fontsize',140,...
% 'color','w','fontweight','bold')
%
% figure
% circles([1 3 5],2,1,'points',4,'rot',[0 45 35])
%
%
% TIPS:
% 1. Include the name-value pair 'facecolor','none' to draw outlines
% (non-filled) circles.
%
% 2. Follow the circles command with axis equal to fix distorted circles.

What am I doing wrong here? How do I correct this error? I am rather new to Octave and Matlab, so any help is greatly appreciated.
this is the first post after pasting the error so maybe it'll help anyone later:
in my case pasting the script into a function worked out!

I am currently taking Andrew Nguyen's coursera machine learning course and I am on week 2. For a cost function assignment, my function keeps on returning "ans = 0" when it should be returning "ans= 32.07:
My code is below (The variables have been defined in the command window):
%COMPUTECOST Compute cost for linear regression
% J = COMPUTECOST(X, y, theta) computes the cost of using theta as the
% parameter for linear regression to fit the data points in X and y
% Initialize some useful values
% number of training examples
m = length(y);
% You need to return the following variables correctly
J =0;
% ====================== YOUR CODE HERE ======================
% Instructions: Compute the cost of a particular choice of theta
% You should set J to the cos
h = X * theta;
J = (1/(2m)*(sum(h-y).^2));
% =========================================================================
end
I'm attempting my first solo project, after taking an introductory course to machine learning, where I'm trying to use linear approximation to predict the outcome of addition/subtraction of two numbers.
I have 3 features: first number, subtraction/addition (0 or 1), and second number.
So my input looks something like this:
3 0 1
4 1 2
3 0 3
With corresponding output like this:
2
6
0
I have (I think) successfully implemented logistic regression algorithm, as the squared error does gradually decrease, but in 100 values, ranging from 0 to 50, the squared error value flattens out at around 685.6 after about 400 iterations.
Graph: Squared Error vs Iterations
.
To fix this, I have tried using a larger dataset for training, getting rid of regularization, and normalizing the input values.
I know that one of the steps to fix high bias is to add complexity to the approximation, but I want to maximize the performance at this particular level. Is it possible to go any further on this level?
My linear approximation code in Octave:
% Iterate
for i = 1 : iter
% hypothesis
h = X * Theta;
% reg theta prep
regTheta = Theta;
regTheta(:, 1) = 0;
% cost calc
J(i, 2) = (1 / (2 * m)) * (sum((h - y) .^ 2) + lambda * sum(sum(regTheta .^ 2,1),2));
% theta calc
Theta = Theta - (alpha / m) * ((h - y)' * X)' + lambda * sum(sum(regTheta, 1), 2);
end
Note: I'm using 0 for lambda, as to ignore regularization.
function [theta, J_history] = gradientDescent(X, y, theta, alpha, num_iters)
%GRADIENTDESCENT Performs gradient descent to learn theta
% theta = GRADIENTDESENT(X, y, theta, alpha, num_iters) updates theta by
% taking num_iters gradient steps with learning rate alpha
% Initialize some useful values
m = length(y); % number of training examples
J_history = zeros(num_iters, 1);
for iter = 1:num_iters
% ====================== YOUR CODE HERE ======================
% Instructions: Perform a single gradient step on the parameter vector
% theta.
%
% Hint: While debugging, it can be useful to print out the values
% of the cost function (computeCost) and gradient here.
%
hypothesis = x*theta;
theta_0 = theta(1) - alpha(1/m)*sum((hypothesis-y)*x);
theta_1 = theta(2) - alpha(1/m)*sum((hypothesis-y)*x);
theta(1) = theta_0;
theta(2) = theta_1;
% ============================================================
% Save the cost J in every iteration
J_history(iter) = computeCost(X, y, theta);
end
end
I keep getting this error
error: gradientDescent: subscript indices must be either positive integers less than 2^31 or logicals
on this line right in-between the first theta and =
theta_0 = theta(1) - alpha(1/m)*sum((hypothesis-y)*x);
I'm very new to octave so please go easy on me, and
thank you in advance.
This is from the coursera course on Machine Learning from Week 2
99% sure your error is on the line pointed out by topsig, where you have alpha(1/m)
it would help if you gave an example of input values to your function and what you hoped to see as an output, but I'm assuming from your comment
% taking num_iters gradient steps with learning rate alpha
that alpha is a constant, not a function. as such, you have the line alpha(1/m) without any operator in between. octave sees this as you indexing alpha with the value of 1/m.
i.e., if you had an array
x = [3 4 5]
x*(2) = [6 8 10] %% two times each element in the array
x(2) = [4] %% second element in the array
what you did doesn't seem to make sense, as 'm = length(y)' which will output a scalar, so
x = [3 4 5]; m = 3;
x*(1/m) = x*(1/3) = [1 1.3333 1.6666] %% element / 3
x(1/m) = ___error___ %% the 1/3 element in the array makes no sense
note that for certain errors it always indicates that the location of the error is at the assignment operator (the equal sign at the start of the line). if it points there, you usually have to look elsewhere in the line for the actual error. here, it was yelling at you for trying to apply a non-integer subscript (1/m)
