In fact, it is the gradient-log-normalizer of the categorical probability distribution. The softmax function is also the gradient of the LogSumExp function. The softmax function is used in various multiclass classification methods, such as multinomial logistic regression (also known as softmax regression), multiclass linear discriminant analysis, naive Bayes classifiers, and artificial neural networks. Specifically, in multinomial logistic regression and linear discriminant analysis, the input to the function is the result of distinct linear functions, and the predicted probability for the 'th class given a sample vector and a weighting vector is: This can be seen as the composition of linear functions \mathbf \mapsto \mathbf^\mathsf\mathbf_1, \ldots, \mathbf \mapsto \mathbf^\mathsf\mathbf_K and the softmax function (where \mathbf^\mathsf\mathbf denotes the inner product of \mathbf and \mathbf). The operation is equivalent to applying a linear operator defined by \mathbf to vectors \mathbf, thus transforming the original, probably highly-dimensional, input to vectors in a -dimensional space \mathbb^K.

Statistical classification

In machine learning and statistics, classification is the problem of identifying to which of a set of categories (sub-populations) a new observation belongs, on the basis of a training set of data containing observations (or instances) whose category membership is known.

Statistical data type

In statistics, groups of individual data points may be classified as belonging to any of various statistical data types, e.g. categorical ("red", "blue", "green"), real number (1.68, -5, 1.7e+6),odd number(1,3,5) etc.

Type I and type II errors

In statistical hypothesis testing, a type I error is the rejection of a true null hypothesis (also known as a "false positive" finding), while a type II error is failing to reject a false null hypothesis (also known as a "false negative" finding).

Y-intercept

In analytic geometry, using the common convention that the horizontal axis represents a variable x and the vertical axis represents a variable y, a y-intercept or vertical intercept is a point where the graph of a function or relation intersects the y-axis of the coordinate system.
