Study Notes
Classification Process
- The accuracy of a classifier is determined by comparing the class label of each test row with the predicted class label.
- If the accuracy is acceptable, the classifier can be used to classify future data rows with unknown class labels.
Naïve Bayes Classification
- Naïve Bayes is a supervised machine learning algorithm used for classification tasks.
- It is based on Bayes' Theorem with an assumption of independence among predictors.
- The algorithm assumes that features are independent of each other and changing one feature does not directly influence another.
Probability
- Probability is a branch of mathematics that deals with numerical descriptions of event likelihood.
- Probability values range from 0 (impossibility) to 1 (certainty).
- Conditional probability is a key concept in Naïve Bayes classification.
Supervised Machine Learning
- Supervised learning involves training a classifier on a labeled dataset.
- The class label attribute is nominal-valued and categorical.
- Training rows are selected from a database for analysis.
- Supervised learning is used for classification and prediction tasks.
Classification vs. Prediction
- Classification predicts categorical labels, while prediction models continuous-valued functions.
- Binary classification involves target attributes with two possible values, while multiclass targets have more than two values.
Unsupervised Machine Learning
- Unsupervised learning involves finding unknown patterns in a dataset with no predetermined labels.
- It is used when a specific goal is not available or when the user seeks to find hidden relationships in data.
- Unsupervised learning methods include clustering, association, and extraction methods.
Examples of Classification and Prediction
- Classification examples: loan applicant risk assessment, customer purchase prediction, and medical treatment prediction.
- Prediction examples: predicting customer spending, price of gasoline, rice, or USD.
