Compression
Logistic Regression • Speeds up algorithms
• Reduces space

Dimensionality reduction in simple words:

• Dataset is redundant in features
• Question: Can we simply it in a rational and useful
way?
• For example:
– Redundant data set - different units for same attribute
– Reduce data from n-dimension to k-dimension
