Study Notes
Classifier Types
- In email classification, a suitable classifier is a logistic regression classifier or a decision tree classifier.
- A Linear Classifier uses a linear combination of input features to classify data into different categories.
- The Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) is used to classify handwritten digits (0-9) based on their pixel values.
- Naïve Bayes classifier assumes independence between features and calculates the probability of each class given the input features.
- A Discriminant Function is used to separate flowers into different categories based on their features.
- A Bayesian Classifier is used to build a model based on the conditional probability of each class given the input features.
Naïve Bayes
- Naïve Bayes is a type of Bayesian algorithm.
- The 'naïve' in Naïve Bayes refers to the assumption of independence between features.
- The Naïve Bayes algorithm assumes that the features of an object are independent of each other.
- In Naïve Bayes, P(A|B) represents the posterior probability of A given B.
Bayes Theorem
- Bayes theorem calculates the probability of a hypothesis given the observed data.
- Bayes theorem assumes that the object's features are independent of each other.
Fisher's Discriminant Function
- Fisher's Discriminant Function computes the discriminant function for each class.
- The aim of Fisher's Discriminant Function is to maximize the ratio of the between-class variance to the within-class variance.
Least Square for Classification
- Least Square for Classification finds the class that minimizes the squared difference between the predicted and actual labels.
- Least Square for Classification minimizes the sum of the squared differences between the predicted and actual labels.
