Initialize parameter

some gradient descent setting

iterations = 10000

run gradient descent

Cost versus iterations of gradient descent

“”"
A plot of cost versus iterations is a useful measure of progress in gradient descent
“”"

plot cost vs iteration

fig, (ax1, ax2), = plt.subplots(1, 2, constrained_layout=True, figsize=(12, 4))
ax1.plot(J_hist[:100])
ax2.plot(1000 + np.arange(len(J_hist[1000:])), J_hist[1000:])
ax1.set_title(“Cost vs. iteration(start)”)
ax2.set_title(“Cost vs. iteration (end)”)
ax1.set_ylabel(‘Cost’)
ax2.set_ylabel(‘Cost’)
ax1.set_xlabel(‘iteration step’);
ax2.set_xlabel(‘iteration step’)
plt.show()

Predictions

print(f"1000 sqft house prediction {w_final * 1.0 + b_final:0.1f} Thousand dollars")
print(f"1200 sqft house prediction {w_final * 1.2 + b_final:0.1f} Thousand dollars")
print(f"2000 sqft house prediction {w_final * 2.0 + b_final:0.1f} Thousand dollars")

Plotting

fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1, figsize=(12, 6))
plt_contour_wgrad(x_train, y_train, p_hist, ax)

Zooming in,

fig, ax = plt.subplots(1, 1, figsize=(12, 4))
plt_contour_wgrad(x_train, y_train, p_hist, ax, w_range=[180, 220, 0.5], b_range=[80, 120, 0.5],
contours=[1, 5, 10, 20], resolution=0.5)

Greetings!

Please be aware that students cannot share their code on the forums. That isn’t allowed by the Code of Conduct.

You can share any error messages or asserts that you get whne you run your notebook. A screen capture image is the best method to use.

If a mentor needs to see your code, we will contact you with instructions.

I will edit your message to remove the code.

I strongly recommend you use the Coursera Labs environment, so you can run the assignments in your browser. That’s how they’re intended to be used.

@kartikmaity,
As far as the error you’re seeing:

NameError: name ‘J_hist’ is not defined. Did you mean: ‘j_hist’?

It looks like there’s a mismatch between capital J and lower case j.
When I open this lab, I see capital J being used consistently. My guess is you must have accidentally edited your copy to lower case j in one place.

Also, FYI, since this is an ungraded lab and none of it is your code, it is technically OK to share it here. It’s easy for us to not recognize that the lab is a practice lab, though, so please mention that fact if you find the need to share code from a practice lab in the future.
