    Study Notes

    Machine Learning Algorithms

    • Three main categories of ML algorithms: Classification, Regression, and Clustering
    • Examples of algorithms: Logistic Regression, Linear Regression, K-Means, SVM, Naïve-Bayes, Nearest Neighbor, Decision Trees, Random Forests, and Hidden Markov Model

    Regression Problem

    • Regression analysis models the relationship between a continuous dependent variable and one or more independent variables
    • Goal: find the best-fit line that minimizes the difference between observed and predicted values
    • Regression is sensitive to outliers, which can distort the model
    • Proper handling of outliers is crucial for accuracy and reliability of the regression model

    Classification Problem

    • Classification predicts the category or class of an input based on prior observations, producing discrete labels (e.g., "spam" or "not spam")
    • Goal: assign accurate labels to new data
    • Popular algorithms: logistic regression and decision trees
    • Classification involves input features and class labels (target) in the training dataset
