Calculating and Interpreting a Model's Objective Function
A machine learning model is designed to predict the price of a product. For a small sample of three products, the model predicts prices of [$55, $90, $125], while the actual prices are [$50, $100, $120]. The model's performance is measured by an objective function defined as the average of the squared differences between the predicted and actual values. First, calculate the value of this objective function for the given sample. Second, explain what a lower value of this function would signify about the model's future predictions.

Logistic Regression Cost Function
A machine learning model is being trained for a prediction task. A key metric, the objective function, is tracked over time. The value of this function represents the magnitude of the model's error. A graph of this process shows the objective function's value consistently decreasing as the number of training iterations increases. What is the most accurate interpretation of this trend?
