function J = computeCost(X, y, theta) %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 m = length(y); % number of training examples % You need to return the following variables correctly % ====================== YOUR CODE HERE ====================== % Instructions: Compute the cost of a particular choice of theta % You should set J to the cost. J = 1 / 2 / m * sum((X * theta - y) .^ 2); %JVal = 1 / 2 / m * (X * theta - y)' * (X * theta -y); %gradient = theta - 1 / m * (X' * (X * theta - y)); % ========================================================================= end
