    Study Notes

    Types of Machine Learning

    • Multiple types of machine learning exist, and the appropriate type depends on the prediction task at hand.

    Supervised Machine Learning

    • Involves training models using data with feature values and known label values.
    • Determines relationships between features and labels in past observations to predict unknown labels for future cases.
    • Has two main forms: regression and classification.

    Regression

    • A type of supervised machine learning where the predicted label is a numeric value.
    • Example: predicting a person's height based on their age and other features.

    Classification

    • A type of supervised machine learning where the predicted label represents a categorization or class.
    • Has two common scenarios: binary classification and multiclass classification.

    Binary Classification

    • Predicts one of two mutually exclusive outcomes (e.g., true/false, positive/negative).
    • Example: predicting whether an email is spam or not spam.

    Multiclass Classification

    • Predicts a label that represents one of multiple possible classes.
    • Example: predicting the type of penguin (Gentoo, Adelie, etc.) based on its features.
    • Can be used to predict mutually exclusive labels or multiple labels (multilabel classification).

    Unsupervised Machine Learning

    • Involves training models using data with only feature values, without known labels.
    • Determines relationships between features to identify patterns or structure.

    Clustering

    • A type of unsupervised machine learning that groups observations into discrete clusters based on their features.
    • Example: grouping customers based on their buying behavior and demographics.
    • Differs from multiclass classification in that it identifies clusters without prior knowledge of the classes.
    • Can be used to determine the set of classes that exist before training a classification model.

    Regression Models

    • Regression models predict numeric label values based on training data with features and known labels.
    • The training process involves multiple iterations of training, evaluating, and refining the model to achieve acceptable predictive accuracy.

    Training a Regression Model

    • The process starts with splitting the data and using a subset to train a model.
    • An algorithm is applied to the training data to fit a function that calculates the label value from the feature value.
    • Linear regression is an example algorithm that derives a function that produces a straight line through the intersections of the x and y values, minimizing the average distance between the line and the plotted points.

    Evaluating a Regression Model

    • The model is evaluated by predicting the label values for a held-back dataset and comparing them to the known actual values.
    • The predicted labels are calculated by the model, and the difference between the predicted and actual values is used to evaluate the model's performance.

    Regression Evaluation Metrics

    • Mean Absolute Error (MAE): The mean of the absolute differences between the predicted and actual values.
    • Mean Squared Error (MSE): The mean of the squared differences between the predicted and actual values, which amplifies larger errors.
    • Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE): The square root of the MSE, which represents the error in terms of the original measurement units.
    • Coefficient of Determination (R2): A measure of the proportion of variance in the validation results that can be explained by the model, ranging from 0 to 1.

    Iterative Training

    • The evaluation metrics are used to iteratively train and refine the model, varying the algorithm, parameters, and features to achieve the best evaluation metric.
    • The model with the best evaluation metric is selected for the specific scenario.

    Regression Models

    • Regression models predict numeric label values based on training data with features and known labels.
    • The training process involves multiple iterations of training, evaluating, and refining the model to achieve acceptable predictive accuracy.
