Gradient Descent:

Gradient descent is an algorithm that minimizes

functional difference between correct value and
predicted value of a function or rule.
In simple word:
Gradient descent is an optimization algorithm used
to find the values of parameters (coefficients) of a
function (f) that minimizes a cost function (cost).
Gradient descent algorithm start working on initial
value of given coefficients and start manipulation
of that value using top-down of bottom-up
approach to reduce total cost of function and try to
move coefficient value such way that they can
match to the accurate value of that coefficients
where prediction accuracy is near to 100%
Applicable to:
Gradient descent is best used when the
parameters cannot be calculated analytically (e.g.
using linear algebra) and must be searched for by
an optimization algorithm.

Titanic Discussion:
Section A:
In Titanic dataset we can predict survivorship by
considering below attributes with given
calculations:
1)Survived
2) Sex
3)Pclass
