It uses the Wisconsin Breast Cancer Dataset for tumor classification. Wisconsin Breast Cancer Dataset Logistic regression is one of the most popular algorithms for binary classification. Given a set of examples with features, the goal of logistic regression is to output values between 0 and 1, which can be interpreted as the probabilities of each example belonging to a particular class.

This is expected since the tumor radius is directly involved in the computation of both perimeter and area. Additionally, note that malignant diagnoses seem to be more right-skewed for many of the features. Make sure to also check the overall statistics. Note how each feature covers a vastly different range of values. train_dataset.describe().transpose()[:10] train_dataset.describe().transpose()[:10] count mean std min 25% 50% 75% max id 427.0

inconsistent ranges, it is beneficial to standardize the data such that each feature has a zero mean and unit variance. This process is called normalization. normalization class Normalize(tf.Module): def __init__(self, x): # Initialize the mean and standard deviation for normalization self.mean = tf.Variable(tf.math.reduce_mean(x, axis=0)) self.std = tf.Variable(tf.math.reduce_std(x, axis=0)) def norm(self, x): # Normalize the input return (x - self.mean)/self.std def unnorm(self, x): # Unnormalize the input return (x * self.std) + self.mean norm_x = Normalize(x_train) x_train_norm, x_test_norm = norm_x.norm(x_train), norm_x.norm(x_test) class Normalize(tf.Module): def __init__(self, x): # Initialize the mean and standard deviation for normalization self.mean = tf.Variable(tf.math.reduce_mean(x, axis=0)) self.std = tf.Variable(tf.math.reduce_std(x, axis=0)) def norm(self, x): # Normalize the input return (x - self.mean)/self.std def unnorm(self, x): # Unnormalize the input return (x * self.std) + self.mean norm_x = Normalize(x_train) x_train_norm, x_test_norm = norm_x.norm(x_train), norm_x.norm(x_test) Logistic regression Before building a logistic regression model, it is crucial to understand the method's differences compared to traditional linear regression. Logistic regression fundamentals Linear regression returns a linear combination of its inputs; this output is unbounded. The output of a logistic regression is in the (0, 1) range. For each example, it represents the probability that the example belongs to the positive class. logistic regression (0, 1) positive Logistic regression maps the continuous outputs of traditional linear regression, (-∞, ∞), to probabilities, (0, 1). This transformation is also symmetric so that flipping the sign of the linear output results in the inverse of the original probability. (-∞, ∞) (0, 1) Let Y denote the probability of being in class 1 (the tumor is malignant). The desired mapping can be achieved by interpreting the linear regression output as the log odds ratio of being in class 1 as opposed to class 0: 1 log odds 1 0 ln(Y1−Y)=wX+b ln(Y1−Y)=wX+b By setting wX+b=z, this equation can then be solved for Y: Y=ez1+ez=11+e−z Y=ez1+ez=11+e−z The expression 11+e−z is known as the sigmoid function σ(z). Hence, the equation for logistic regression can be written as Y=σ(wX+b). sigmoid function The dataset in this tutorial deals with a high-dimensional feature matrix. Therefore, the above equation must be rewritten in a matrix vector form as follows: Y=σ(Xw+b) Y=σ(Xw+b) where: Ym×1: a target vector Xm×n: a feature matrix wn×1: a weight vector b: a bias σ: a sigmoid function applied to each element of the output vector Ym×1: a target vector Xm×n: a feature matrix wn×1: a weight vector b: a bias σ: a sigmoid function applied to each element of the output vector Start by visualizing the sigmoid function, which transforms the linear output, (-∞, ∞), to fall between 0 and 1. The sigmoid function is available in tf.math.sigmoid. (-∞, ∞) 0 1 tf.math.sigmoid x = tf.linspace(-10, 10, 500) x = tf.cast(x, tf.float32) f = lambda x : (1/20)*x + 0.6 plt.plot(x, tf.math.sigmoid(x)) plt.ylim((-0.1,1.1)) plt.title("Sigmoid function"); x = tf.linspace(-10, 10, 500) x = tf.cast(x, tf.float32) f = lambda x : (1/20)*x + 0.6 plt.plot(x, tf.math.sigmoid(x)) plt.ylim((-0.1,1.1)) plt.title("Sigmoid function"); The log loss function The log loss, or binary cross-entropy loss, is the ideal loss function for a binary classification problem with logistic regression. For each example, the log loss quantifies the similarity between a predicted probability and the example's true value. It is determined by the following equation: log loss L=−1m∑i=1myi⋅log(y^i)+(1−yi)⋅log(1−y^i) L=−1m∑i=1myi⋅log(y^i)+(1−yi)⋅log(1−y^i) where: y^: a vector of predicted probabilities y: a vector of true targets y^: a vector of predicted probabilities y: a vector of true targets You can use the tf.nn.sigmoid_cross_entropy_with_logits function to compute the log loss. This function automatically applies the sigmoid activation to the regression output: tf.nn.sigmoid_cross_entropy_with_logits def log_loss(y_pred, y): # Compute the log loss function ce = tf.nn.sigmoid_cross_entropy_with_logits(labels=y, logits=y_pred) return tf.reduce_mean(ce) def log_loss(y_pred, y): # Compute the log loss function ce = tf.nn.sigmoid_cross_entropy_with_logits(labels=y, logits=y_pred) return tf.reduce_mean(ce) The gradient descent update rule The TensorFlow Core APIs support automatic differentiation with tf.GradientTape. If you are curious about the mathematics behind the logistic regression gradient updates, here is a short explanation: tf.GradientTape gradient updates In the above equation for the log loss, recall that each y^i can be rewritten in terms of the inputs as σ(Xiw+b). The goal is to find a w∗ and b∗ that minimize the log loss: L=−1m∑i=1myi⋅log(σ(Xiw+b))+(1−yi)⋅log(1−σ(Xiw+b)) L=−1m∑i=1myi⋅log(σ(Xiw+b))+(1−yi)⋅log(1−σ(Xiw+b)) By taking the gradient L with respect to w, you get the following: ∂L∂w=1m(σ(Xw+b)−y)X ∂L∂w=1m(σ(Xw+b)−y)X By taking the gradient L with respect to b, you get the following: ∂L∂b=1m∑i=1mσ(Xiw+b)−yi ∂L∂b=1m∑i=1mσ(Xiw+b)−yi Now, build the logistic regression model. class LogisticRegression(tf.Module): def __init__(self): self.built = False def __call__(self, x, train=True): # Initialize the model parameters on the first call if not self.built: # Randomly generate the weights and the bias term rand_w = tf.random.uniform(shape=[x.shape[-1], 1], seed=22) rand_b = tf.random.uniform(shape=[], seed=22) self.w = tf.Variable(rand_w) self.b = tf.Variable(rand_b) self.built = True # Compute the model output z = tf.add(tf.matmul(x, self.w), self.b) z = tf.squeeze(z, axis=1) if train: return z return tf.sigmoid(z) class LogisticRegression(tf.Module): def __init__(self): self.built = False def __call__(self, x, train=True): # Initialize the model parameters on the first call if not self.built: # Randomly generate the weights and the bias term rand_w = tf.random.uniform(shape=[x.shape[-1], 1], seed=22) rand_b = tf.random.uniform(shape=[], seed=22) self.w = tf.Variable(rand_w) self.b = tf.Variable(rand_b) self.built = True # Compute the model output z = tf.add(tf.matmul(x, self.w), self.b) z = tf.squeeze(z, axis=1) if train: return z return tf.sigmoid(z) To validate, make sure the untrained model outputs values in the range of (0, 1) for a small subset of the training data. (0, 1) log_reg = LogisticRegression() log_reg = LogisticRegression() y_pred = log_reg(x_train_norm[:5], train=False) y_pred.numpy() y_pred = log_reg(x_train_norm[:5], train=False) y_pred.numpy() array([0.9994985 , 0.9978607 , 0.29620072, 0.01979049, 0.3314926 ], dtype=float32) array([0.9994985 , 0.9978607 , 0.29620072, 0.01979049, 0.3314926 ], dtype=float32) Next, write an accuracy function to calculate the proportion of correct classifications during training. In order to retrieve the classifications from the predicted probabilities, set a threshold for which all probabilities higher than the threshold belong to class 1. This is a configurable hyperparameter that can be set to 0.5 as a default. 1 0.5 def predict_class(y_pred, thresh=0.5): # Return a tensor with `1` if `y_pred` > `0.5`, and `0` otherwise return tf.cast(y_pred > thresh, tf.float32) def accuracy(y_pred, y): # Return the proportion of matches between `y_pred` and `y` y_pred = tf.math.sigmoid(y_pred) y_pred_class = predict_class(y_pred) check_equal = tf.cast(y_pred_class == y,tf.float32) acc_val = tf.reduce_mean(check_equal) return acc_val def predict_class(y_pred, thresh=0.5): # Return a tensor with `1` if `y_pred` > `0.5`, and `0` otherwise return tf.cast(y_pred > thresh, tf.float32) def accuracy(y_pred, y): # Return the proportion of matches between `y_pred` and `y` y_pred = tf.math.sigmoid(y_pred) y_pred_class = predict_class(y_pred) check_equal = tf.cast(y_pred_class == y,tf.float32) acc_val = tf.reduce_mean(check_equal) return acc_val Train the model Using mini-batches for training provides both memory efficiency and faster convergence. The tf.data.Dataset API has useful functions for batching and shuffling. The API enables you to build complex input pipelines from simple, reusable pieces. tf.data.Dataset batch_size = 64 train_dataset = tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices((x_train_norm, y_train)) train_dataset = train_dataset.shuffle(buffer_size=x_train.shape[0]).batch(batch_size) test_dataset = tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices((x_test_norm, y_test)) test_dataset = test_dataset.shuffle(buffer_size=x_test.shape[0]).batch(batch_size) batch_size = 64 train_dataset = tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices((x_train_norm, y_train)) train_dataset = train_dataset.shuffle(buffer_size=x_train.shape[0]).batch(batch_size) test_dataset = tf.data.Dataset.from_tensor_slices((x_test_norm, y_test)) test_dataset = test_dataset.shuffle(buffer_size=x_test.shape[0]).batch(batch_size) Now write a training loop for the logistic regression model. The loop utilizes the log loss function and its gradients with respect to the input in order to iteratively update the model's parameters. # Set training parameters epochs = 200 learning_rate = 0.01 train_losses, test_losses = [], [] train_accs, test_accs = [], [] # Set up the training loop and begin training for epoch in range(epochs): batch_losses_train, batch_accs_train = [], [] batch_losses_test, batch_accs_test = [], [] # Iterate over the training data for x_batch, y_batch in train_dataset: with tf.GradientTape() as tape: y_pred_batch = log_reg(x_batch) batch_loss = log_loss(y_pred_batch, y_batch) batch_acc = accuracy(y_pred_batch, y_batch) # Update the parameters with respect to the gradient calculations grads = tape.gradient(batch_loss, log_reg.variables) for g,v in zip(grads, log_reg.variables): v.assign_sub(learning_rate * g) # Keep track of batch-level training performance batch_losses_train.append(batch_loss) batch_accs_train.append(batch_acc) # Iterate over the testing data for x_batch, y_batch in test_dataset: y_pred_batch = log_reg(x_batch) batch_loss = log_loss(y_pred_batch, y_batch) batch_acc = accuracy(y_pred_batch, y_batch) # Keep track of batch-level testing performance batch_losses_test.append(batch_loss) batch_accs_test.append(batch_acc) # Keep track of epoch-level model performance train_loss, train_acc = tf.reduce_mean(batch_losses_train), tf.reduce_mean(batch_accs_train) test_loss, test_acc = tf.reduce_mean(batch_losses_test), tf.reduce_mean(batch_accs_test) train_losses.append(train_loss) train_accs.append(train_acc) test_losses.append(test_loss) test_accs.append(test_acc) if epoch % 20 == 0: print(f"Epoch: {epoch}, Training log loss: {train_loss:.3f}") # Set training parameters epochs = 200 learning_rate = 0.01 train_losses, test_losses = [], [] train_accs, test_accs = [], [] # Set up the training loop and begin training for epoch in range(epochs): batch_losses_train, batch_accs_train = [], [] batch_losses_test, batch_accs_test = [], [] # Iterate over the training data for x_batch, y_batch in train_dataset: with tf.GradientTape() as tape: y_pred_batch = log_reg(x_batch) batch_loss = log_loss(y_pred_batch, y_batch) batch_acc = accuracy(y_pred_batch, y_batch) # Update the parameters with respect to the gradient calculations grads = tape.gradient(batch_loss, log_reg.variables) for g,v in zip(grads, log_reg.variables): v.assign_sub(learning_rate * g) # Keep track of batch-level training performance batch_losses_train.append(batch_loss) batch_accs_train.append(batch_acc) # Iterate over the testing data for x_batch, y_batch in test_dataset: y_pred_batch = log_reg(x_batch) batch_loss = log_loss(y_pred_batch, y_batch) batch_acc = accuracy(y_pred_batch, y_batch) # Keep track of batch-level testing performance batch_losses_test.append(batch_loss) batch_accs_test.append(batch_acc) # Keep track of epoch-level model performance train_loss, train_acc = tf.reduce_mean(batch_losses_train), tf.reduce_mean(batch_accs_train) test_loss, test_acc = tf.reduce_mean(batch_losses_test), tf.reduce_mean(batch_accs_test) train_losses.append(train_loss) train_accs.append(train_acc) test_losses.append(test_loss) test_accs.append(test_acc) if epoch % 20 == 0: print(f"Epoch: {epoch}, Training log loss: {train_loss:.3f}") Epoch: 0, Training log loss: 0.661 Epoch: 20, Training log loss: 0.418 Epoch: 40, Training log loss: 0.269 Epoch: 60, Training log loss: 0.178 Epoch: 80, Training log loss: 0.137 Epoch: 100, Training log loss: 0.116 Epoch: 120, Training log loss: 0.106 Epoch: 140, Training log loss: 0.096 Epoch: 160, Training log loss: 0.094 Epoch: 180, Training log loss: 0.089 Epoch: 0, Training log loss: 0.661 Epoch: 20, Training log loss: 0.418 Epoch: 40, Training log loss: 0.269 Epoch: 60, Training log loss: 0.178 Epoch: 80, Training log loss: 0.137 Epoch: 100, Training log loss: 0.116 Epoch: 120, Training log loss: 0.106 Epoch: 140, Training log loss: 0.096 Epoch: 160, Training log loss: 0.094 Epoch: 180, Training log loss: 0.089 Performance evaluation Observe the changes in your model's loss and accuracy over time. plt.plot(range(epochs), train_losses, label = "Training loss") plt.plot(range(epochs), test_losses, label = "Testing loss") plt.xlabel("Epoch") plt.ylabel("Log loss") plt.legend() plt.title("Log loss vs training iterations");

To go one step further, you can explore error rates that give more insight beyond the overall accuracy score. The two most popular error rates for binary classification problems are the false positive rate (FPR) and the false negative rate (FNR). For this problem, the FPR is the proportion of malignant tumor predictions amongst tumors that are actually benign. Conversely, the FNR is the proportion of benign tumor predictions among tumors that are actually malignant. Compute a confusion matrix using sklearn.metrics.confusion_matrix, which evaluates the accuracy of the classification, and use matplotlib to display the matrix: sklearn.metrics.confusion_matrix def show_confusion_matrix(y, y_classes, typ): # Compute the confusion matrix and normalize it plt.figure(figsize=(10,10)) confusion = sk_metrics.confusion_matrix(y.numpy(), y_classes.numpy()) confusion_normalized = confusion / confusion.sum(axis=1, keepdims=True) axis_labels = range(2) ax = sns.heatmap( confusion_normalized, xticklabels=axis_labels, yticklabels=axis_labels, cmap='Blues', annot=True, fmt='.4f', square=True) plt.title(f"Confusion matrix: {typ}") plt.ylabel("True label") plt.xlabel("Predicted label") y_pred_train, y_pred_test = log_reg(x_train_norm, train=False), log_reg(x_test_norm, train=False) train_classes, test_classes = predict_class(y_pred_train), predict_class(y_pred_test) def show_confusion_matrix(y, y_classes, typ): # Compute the confusion matrix and normalize it plt.figure(figsize=(10,10)) confusion = sk_metrics.confusion_matrix(y.numpy(), y_classes.numpy()) confusion_normalized = confusion / confusion.sum(axis=1, keepdims=True) axis_labels = range(2) ax = sns.heatmap( confusion_normalized, xticklabels=axis_labels, yticklabels=axis_labels, cmap='Blues', annot=True, fmt='.4f', square=True) plt.title(f"Confusion matrix: {typ}") plt.ylabel("True label") plt.xlabel("Predicted label") y_pred_train, y_pred_test = log_reg(x_train_norm, train=False), log_reg(x_test_norm, train=False) train_classes, test_classes = predict_class(y_pred_train), predict_class(y_pred_test) show_confusion_matrix(y_train, train_classes, 'Training') show_confusion_matrix(y_train, train_classes, 'Training') show_confusion_matrix(y_test, test_classes, 'Testing') show_confusion_matrix(y_test, test_classes, 'Testing') Observe the error rate measurements and interpret their significance in the context of this example. In many medical testing studies such as cancer detection, having a high false positive rate to ensure a low false negative rate is perfectly acceptable and in fact encouraged since the risk of missing a malignant tumor diagnosis (false negative) is a lot worse than misclassifying a benign tumor as malignant (false positive). In order to control for the FPR and FNR, try changing the threshold hyperparameter before classifying the probability predictions. A lower threshold increases the model's overall chances of making a malignant tumor classification. This inevitably increases the number of false positives and the FPR but it also helps to decrease the number of false negatives and the FNR. Save the model Start by making an export module that takes in raw data and performs the following operations: Normalization Probability prediction Class prediction Normalization Probability prediction Class prediction class ExportModule(tf.Module): def __init__(self, model, norm_x, class_pred): # Initialize pre- and post-processing functions self.model = model self.norm_x = norm_x self.class_pred = class_pred @tf.function(input_signature=[tf.TensorSpec(shape=[None, None], dtype=tf.float32)]) def __call__(self, x): # Run the `ExportModule` for new data points x = self.norm_x.norm(x) y = self.model(x, train=False) y = self.class_pred(y) return y class ExportModule(tf.Module): def __init__(self, model, norm_x, class_pred): # Initialize pre- and post-processing functions self.model = model self.norm_x = norm_x self.class_pred = class_pred @tf.function(input_signature=[tf.TensorSpec(shape=[None, None], dtype=tf.float32)]) def __call__(self, x): # Run the `ExportModule` for new data points x = self.norm_x.norm(x) y = self.model(x, train=False) y = self.class_pred(y) return y log_reg_export = ExportModule(model=log_reg, norm_x=norm_x, class_pred=predict_class) log_reg_export = ExportModule(model=log_reg, norm_x=norm_x, class_pred=predict_class) If you want to save the model at its current state, you can do so with the tf.saved_model.save function. To load a saved model and make predictions, use the tf.saved_model.load function. tf.saved_model.save tf.saved_model.load models = tempfile.mkdtemp() save_path = os.path.join(models, 'log_reg_export') tf.saved_model.save(log_reg_export, save_path) models = tempfile.mkdtemp() save_path = os.path.join(models, 'log_reg_export') tf.saved_model.save(log_reg_export, save_path) INFO:tensorflow:Assets written to: /tmpfs/tmp/tmp9k_sar52/log_reg_export/assets INFO:tensorflow:Assets written to: /tmpfs/tmp/tmp9k_sar52/log_reg_export/assets INFO:tensorflow:Assets written to: /tmpfs/tmp/tmp9k_sar52/log_reg_export/assets INFO:tensorflow:Assets written to: /tmpfs/tmp/tmp9k_sar52/log_reg_export/assets log_reg_loaded = tf.saved_model.load(save_path) test_preds = log_reg_loaded(x_test) test_preds[:10].numpy() log_reg_loaded = tf.saved_model.load(save_path) test_preds = log_reg_loaded(x_test) test_preds[:10].numpy() array([1., 1., 1., 1., 0., 1., 1., 1., 1., 1.], dtype=float32) array([1., 1., 1., 1., 0., 1., 1., 1., 1., 1.], dtype=float32) Conclusion This notebook introduced a few techniques to handle a logistic regression problem. Here are a few more tips that may help: The TensorFlow Core APIs can be used to build machine learning workflows with high levels of configurability Analyzing error rates is a great way to gain more insight about a classification model's performance beyond its overall accuracy score. Overfitting is another common problem for logistic regression models, though it wasn't a problem for this tutorial. Visit the Overfit and underfit tutorial for more help with this.
