you would pre-build the arrays and store them in a single column.)</li>

+<p>Ordinary least-squares (OLS) linear regression refers to a stochastic model 
in which the conditional mean of the dependent variable (usually denoted \( Y 
\)) is an affine function of the vector of independent variables (usually 
denoted \( \boldsymbol x \)). That is, </p><p class="formulaDsp">
+\[ E[Y \mid \boldsymbol x] = \boldsymbol c^T \boldsymbol x \]
+</p>
+<p> for some unknown vector of coefficients \( \boldsymbol c \). The 
assumption is that the residuals are i.i.d. distributed Gaussians. That is, the 
(conditional) probability density of \( Y \) is given by </p><p 
class="formulaDsp">
+\[ f(y \mid \boldsymbol x) = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2 \pi \sigma^2}} \cdot 
\exp\left(-\frac{1}{2 \sigma^2} \cdot (y - \boldsymbol x^T \boldsymbol c)^2 
\right) \,. \]
+</p>
+<p> OLS linear regression finds the vector of coefficients \( \boldsymbol c \) 
that maximizes the likelihood of the observations.</p>
+<p>Let</p><ul>
+<li>\( \boldsymbol y \in \mathbf R^n \) denote the vector of observed 
dependent variables, with \( n \) rows, containing the observed values of the 
dependent variable,</li>
+<li>\( X \in \mathbf R^{n \times k} \) denote the design matrix with \( k \) 
columns and \( n \) rows, containing all observed vectors of independent 
variables. \( \boldsymbol x_i \) as rows,</li>
+<li>\( X^T \) denote the transpose of \( X \),</li>
+<li>\( X^+ \) denote the pseudo-inverse of \( X \).</li>
+</ul>
+<p>Maximizing the likelihood is equivalent to maximizing the log-likelihood \( 
\sum_{i=1}^n \log f(y_i \mid \boldsymbol x_i) \), which simplifies to 
minimizing the <b>residual sum of squares</b> \( RSS \) (also called sum of 
squared residuals or sum of squared errors of prediction), </p><p 
class="formulaDsp">
+\[ RSS = \sum_{i=1}^n ( y_i - \boldsymbol c^T \boldsymbol x_i )^2 = 
(\boldsymbol y - X \boldsymbol c)^T (\boldsymbol y - X \boldsymbol c) \,. \]
+</p>
+<p> The first-order conditions yield that the \( RSS \) is minimized at </p><p 
class="formulaDsp">
+\[ \boldsymbol c = (X^T X)^+ X^T \boldsymbol y \,. \]
+</p>
+<p>Computing the <b>total sum of squares</b> \( TSS \), the <b>explained sum 
of squares</b> \( ESS \) (also called the regression sum of squares), and the 
<b>coefficient of determination</b> \( R^2 \) is done according to the 
following formulas: </p><p class="formulaDsp">
+\begin{align*} ESS &amp; = \boldsymbol y^T X \boldsymbol c - \frac{ \| y 
\|_1^2 }{n} \\ TSS &amp; = \sum_{i=1}^n y_i^2 - \frac{ \| y \|_1^2 }{n} \\ R^2 
&amp; = \frac{ESS}{TSS} \end{align*}
+</p>
+<p> Note: The last equality follows from the definition \( R^2 = 1 - 
\frac{RSS}{TSS} \) and the fact that for linear regression \( TSS = RSS + ESS 
\). A proof of the latter can be found, e.g., at: <a 
href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_squares";>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sum_of_squares</a></p>
+<p>We estimate the variance \( Var[Y - \boldsymbol c^T \boldsymbol x \mid 
\boldsymbol x] \) as </p><p class="formulaDsp">
+\[ \sigma^2 = \frac{RSS}{n - k} \]
+</p>
+<p> and compute the t-statistic for coefficient \( i \) as </p><p 
class="formulaDsp">
+\[ t_i = \frac{c_i}{\sqrt{\sigma^2 \cdot \left( (X^T X)^{-1} \right)_{ii} }} 
\,. \]
+</p>
+<p>The \( p \)-value for coefficient \( i \) gives the probability of seeing a 
value at least as extreme as the one observed, provided that the null 
hypothesis ( \( c_i = 0 \)) is true. Letting \( F_\nu \) denote the cumulative 
density function of student-t with \( \nu \) degrees of freedom, the \( p 
\)-value for coefficient \( i \) is therefore </p><p class="formulaDsp">
+\[ p_i = \Pr(|T| \geq |t_i|) = 2 \cdot (1 - F_{n - k}( |t_i| )) \]
+</p>
+<p> where \( T \) is a student-t distributed random variable with mean 0.</p>
+<p>The condition number [2] \( \kappa(X) = \|X\|_2\cdot\|X^{-1}\|_2\) is 
computed as the product of two spectral norms [3]. The spectral norm of a 
matrix \(X\) is the largest singular value of \(X\) i.e. the square root of the 
largest eigenvalue of the positive-semidefinite matrix \(X^{*}X\):</p>
+<p class="formulaDsp">
+\[ \|X\|_2 = \sqrt{\lambda_{\max}\left(X^{*}X\right)}\ , \]
+</p>
+<p> where \(X^{*}\) is the conjugate transpose of \(X\). The condition number 
of a linear regression problem is a worst-case measure of how sensitive the 
result is to small perturbations of the input. A large condition number (say, 
more than 1000) indicates the presence of significant multicollinearity.</p>

+</div><p>This module implements "factor model" for representing an incomplete 
matrix using a low-rank approximation [1]. Mathematically, this model seeks to 
find matrices U and V (also referred as factors) that, for any given incomplete 
matrix A, minimizes:</p>
+<p class="formulaDsp">
+\[ \|\boldsymbol A - \boldsymbol UV^{T} \|_2 \]
+</p>
+<p>subject to \(rank(\boldsymbol UV^{T}) \leq r\), where \(\|\cdot\|_2\) 
denotes the Frobenius norm. Let \(A\) be a \(m \times n\) matrix, then \(U\) 
will be \(m \times r\) and \(V\) will be \(n \times r\), in dimension, and \(1 
\leq r \ll \min(m, n)\). This model is not intended to do the full 
decomposition, or to be used as part of inverse procedure. This model has been 
widely used in recommendation systems (e.g., Netflix [2]) and feature selection 
(e.g., image processing [3]).</p>

+</div><p>Binomial logistic regression models the relationship between a 
dichotomous dependent variable and one or more predictor variables. The 
dependent variable may be a Boolean value or a categorial variable that can be 
represented with a Boolean expression. The probabilities describing the 
possible outcomes of a single trial are modeled, as a function of the predictor 
variables, using a logistic function.</p>

+<p>(Binomial) logistic regression refers to a stochastic model in which the 
conditional mean of the dependent dichotomous variable (usually denoted \( Y 
\in \{ 0,1 \} \)) is the logistic function of an affine function of the vector 
of independent variables (usually denoted \( \boldsymbol x \)). That is, </p><p 
class="formulaDsp">
+\[ E[Y \mid \boldsymbol x] = \sigma(\boldsymbol c^T \boldsymbol x) \]
+</p>
+<p> for some unknown vector of coefficients \( \boldsymbol c \) and where \( 
\sigma(x) = \frac{1}{1 + \exp(-x)} \) is the logistic function. Logistic 
regression finds the vector of coefficients \( \boldsymbol c \) that maximizes 
the likelihood of the observations.</p>
+<p>Let</p><ul>
+<li>\( \boldsymbol y \in \{ 0,1 \}^n \) denote the vector of observed 
dependent variables, with \( n \) rows, containing the observed values of the 
dependent variable,</li>
+<li>\( X \in \mathbf R^{n \times k} \) denote the design matrix with \( k \) 
columns and \( n \) rows, containing all observed vectors of independent 
variables \( \boldsymbol x_i \) as rows.</li>
+</ul>
+<p>By definition, </p><p class="formulaDsp">
+\[ P[Y = y_i | \boldsymbol x_i] = \sigma((-1)^{(1 - y_i)} \cdot \boldsymbol 
c^T \boldsymbol x_i) \,. \]
+</p>
+<p> Maximizing the likelihood \( \prod_{i=1}^n \Pr(Y = y_i \mid \boldsymbol 
x_i) \) is equivalent to maximizing the log-likelihood \( \sum_{i=1}^n \log 
\Pr(Y = y_i \mid \boldsymbol x_i) \), which simplifies to </p><p 
class="formulaDsp">
+\[ l(\boldsymbol c) = -\sum_{i=1}^n \log(1 + \exp((-1)^{(1 - y_i)} \cdot 
\boldsymbol c^T \boldsymbol x_i)) \,. \]
+</p>
+<p> The Hessian of this objective is \( H = -X^T A X \) where \( A = 
\text{diag}(a_1, \dots, a_n) \) is the diagonal matrix with \( a_i = 
\sigma(\boldsymbol c^T \boldsymbol x) \cdot \sigma(-\boldsymbol c^T \boldsymbol 
x) \,. \) Since \( H \) is non-positive definite, \( l(\boldsymbol c) \) is 
convex. There are many techniques for solving convex optimization problems. 
Currently, logistic regression in MADlib can use one of three 
algorithms:</p><ul>
+<li>Iteratively Reweighted Least Squares</li>
+<li>A conjugate-gradient approach, also known as Fletcher-Reeves method in the

+<p>We estimate the standard error for coefficient \( i \) as </p><p 
class="formulaDsp">
+\[ \mathit{se}(c_i) = \left( (X^T A X)^{-1} \right)_{ii} \,. \]
+</p>
+<p> The Wald z-statistic is </p><p class="formulaDsp">
+\[ z_i = \frac{c_i}{\mathit{se}(c_i)} \,. \]
+</p>
+<p>The Wald \( p \)-value for coefficient \( i \) gives the probability (under 
the assumptions inherent in the Wald test) of seeing a value at least as 
extreme as the one observed, provided that the null hypothesis ( \( c_i = 0 \)) 
is true. Letting \( F \) denote the cumulative density function of a standard 
normal distribution, the Wald \( p \)-value for coefficient \( i \) is 
therefore </p><p class="formulaDsp">
+\[ p_i = \Pr(|Z| \geq |z_i|) = 2 \cdot (1 - F( |z_i| )) \]
+</p>
+<p> where \( Z \) is a standard normally distributed random variable.</p>
+<p>The odds ratio for coefficient \( i \) is estimated as \( \exp(c_i) \).</p>
+<p>The condition number is computed as \( \kappa(X^T A X) \) during the 
iteration immediately <em>preceding</em> convergence (i.e., \( A \) is computed 
using the coefficients of the previous iteration). A large condition number 
(say, more than 1000) indicates the presence of significant 
multicollinearity.</p>
