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 J = 0; % ====================== YOUR CODE HERE ====================== % Instructions: Compute the cost of a particular choice of theta % You should set J to the cost. h = X*theta; c = (h-y).^2; J = sum(c)/(2*m); % ========================================================================= end
