performing a least squares with regularisation in matlab

17 views (last 30 days)
I have data sets X (2n by 8) and Y(2n by 1). I want to find the coefficients a so that Y = Xa. So we can perform a = X\Y (as a least squares minimisation).
I wanted to ask if it possible to proceed with a form of regularisation (L1 or something simple) from this?
Please help.

bonjours,je n'écris pas pour repondre a une question mais pour poser ma préoccupation.j'ai utiliser le package TOOL BOX de Per Christian Hansen pour faire une reconstruction de force.Avec la regularisation de Tikhonov pour le critère L_curve,le paramètre de regularisation qu'il me renvoi ne me permet pas de reconstruire ma force(ma courbe L_curve presente deux coins).Pouvez vous m'aider ?

My understanding of your problem is that you want to find the coefficient a. So in order to implement optimization you can implement average of sum of least squares as shown below.
Loss= ((Y-X*a)'*(Y-X*a))/(2*n);
The above shown function is a vectorized implementation of the squared error loss function. So this can be minimized in order to get the optimal value of a. If you want to fit a curve to this then any form of regularization should be fine.
Hope this helps
Cheers!

Simpless method:
n = size(X,2); % 8
lambda = 1e-6; % <= regularization parameter, 0 no regularization, larger value stronger regularized solution
a = [X; lambda*eye(n)] \ [Y; zeros(n,1)]
