Lines and boundaries

Linear regression fits $\hat{y} = wx + b$ by least squares; logistic regression fits a probability boundary with the sigmoid; the decision boundary is where the model changes its answer.

Course points $(1,2), (2,3), (3,5), (4,4), (5,6)$: $\bar{x} = 3$, $\bar{y} = 4$, $w = 9/10 = 0.9$, $b = 1.3$ — residuals $-0.2, -0.1, 1.0, -0.9, 0.2$, SSE $1.9$ (every number suite-verified).
Logistic boundary with $w_1 = 2, w_2 = -1, b = -1$: the line $x_2 = 2x_1 - 1$; a parcel at $(2, 2)$ scores $+1$ (late), at $(2, 5)$ scores $-2$ (on time); the margin is the score's magnitude.

A 4th-degree polynomial hits SSE $0$ on the five training points but SSE $\approx 42.7$ on the five held-out points — against the line's $0.55$. Training error is an advertisement; held-out error is the product.
Model choice by held-out error; and fitted weights are not causes (unit 8's confounding lives here too).
