Study Notes
Machine Learning Overview
- Machine learning is a broad field focused on developing algorithms that allow computer systems to learn from data without explicit programming.
- Data science involves a process for working with data which includes collecting, processing and cleaning data.
- The process culminates in creating data products.
The Data Science Process
- Data collection is the initial step in the data science process.
- Data processing is used to convert raw data into a structured, usable format.
- Data cleaning identifies and corrects errors or inconsistencies found in the data.
- Exploratory data analysis (EDA) aims to understand patterns, relationships, and interesting characteristics of data sets.
- Machine learning algorithms and statistical modeling build and train models to learn from data.
- Communication & visualization helps present findings in a suitable format for decision-making and understanding.
- Make decisions are a micro level data strategy.
Classification Algorithms
- Naive Bayes classifier is a simple algorithm based on Bayes' theorem.
- Support vector machines (SVMs) find optimal hyperplanes to separate data points.
- K-nearest neighbor (k-NN) assigns data points based on their proximity to existing data points.
- Random forest trees use ensemble learning by combining multiple decision tree models.
- Decision trees model data by recursively partitioning it into smaller subgroups based off of pre-existing attributes.
- Logistic regression is a statistical model for binary classification tasks.
Clustering Algorithms
- K-means clustering is a popular method for partitioning data points into distinct clusters.
- Mean Shift Clustering Algorithm is another method for grouping similar data points together.
- Gaussian Mixture Model is a probabilistic model for clustering, based on density estimation.
Feature Selection
- Feature selection involves selecting a subset of relevant features from the original features.
- This is important for avoiding the curse of dimensionality.
- The selection process is done according to a certain criterion.
Decision Trees
- Decision trees are tree-like models for classification or regression.
- They involve testing attributes and branching out accordingly.
- They can be used as rules.
Example Data - Tennis Play
- The example demonstrates a dataset for predicting tennis playing conditions.
- Factors like Outlook, Temperature, Humidity, and Wind are tested.
- The ultimate goal is to predict whether a player will play tennis on a given day.
Decision Tree Hypothesis Space
- Internal nodes check attribute values, branching based on results.
- Leaf nodes represent a class outcome.
- Irrelevant attributes can be identified during modeling. For example, temperature would not be helpful in determining whether someone will plays tennis or not.
Homework - Attractive Person
- Students need to identify the most important attribute to determine attractiveness based on data.
Python Libraries & Code
- Libraries such as pandas for data handling, sklearn for modeling, and scikit-learn for metrics will aid analysis.
- Specific code examples (e.g., loading libraries, data loading, model building) will aid data visualization and model evaluation.
Pima Indian Diabetes Dataset Example
- Pima Indian Diabetes dataset is a CSV file for analysis, containing features and a target of either diabetic or not.
- This dataset includes attributes such as pregnant, glucose, blood pressure etc.
- The dataset is used to evaluate performance of models.
Model Evaluation
- Accuracy measures how frequently the model correctly classifies data points.
- In the diabetes model, the accuracy score was around 67.5%
