What is the expected relationship between 'X' and 'Y' in simple linear regression?

In simple linear regression, as 'X' increases, 'Y' is expected to change linearly based on the regression equation coefficients. Signup and view all the answers

How can the regression coefficients b1 and b0 be interpreted in the given example?

Coefficient b1 (0.644) indicates the expected change in statistics marks for each unit increase in math marks, while b0 (26.768) is the expected statistic marks when math marks are zero. Signup and view all the answers

Introduction to Machine Learning

Artificial Intelligence (AI): Computer acts/thinks like a human
Data Science: Al subset dealing with data methods, scientific analysis, and statistics to gain insight from data
Machine Learning (ML): Al subset that teaches computers to learn from provided data:
- "Machine Learning allows the machines to learn and make predictions based on its experience(data)."
- Machine Learning (by Tom Mitchell, 1998): the study of algorithms that improve their performance at a given task with experience. This is represented as <P, T, E>, where P is performance, T is task, and E is experience.
- Example learning tasks. Examples are given for handwritten word recognition and spam filters.

Machine Learning Applications

Recognizing patterns: handwritten/spoken words, medical images
Generating patterns: generating images or motion sequences
Recognizing anomalies: unusual credit card transactions, unusual sensor patterns in a nuclear plant
Prediction: future stock prices, currency rates, personalized medicine (individual genetic profiles for medicine prediction)

Machine Learning Types

Supervised Learning: Learning with labeled data.
- The machine learns from a labeled dataset to learn a relationship and predict output values for new data.
- Types:
  - Regression (predicting real-valued outputs)
  - Classification (predicting categorical outputs)
    - Logistic regression
    - Binary classification
    - Multi-class classification
    - Naïve Bayes classifiers
    - k-NN (k-nearest neighbors) classifiers
    - Decision trees (Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, AdaBoost)
    - Support Vector Machine (SVM)
Unsupervised Learning: Learning with unlabeled data.
- The machine explores the data to discover patterns and relationships between data without any labeled knowledge.
- Types:
  - Clustering (grouping similar data points together)
    - Exclusive Clustering (each item is part of only one subset)
    - Overlapping Clustering (items can be part of one or more subsets)
    - Agglomerative Clustering (set of nested clusters)
    - Probabilistic Clustering (model based on probability distribution function)
    - K-means clustering (partitioning-based method)
    - Hierarchical clustering (agglomerative clustering)
    - Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
    - Singular Value Decomposition (SVD)
- Advantages: Dimensionality reduction, finding previously unknown patterns, flexibility (wide applicability to problems, such as anomaly detection and association rule mining), cost-effectiveness (does not require labeled data).
- Disadvantages: Difficult to measure accuracy, may produce less accurate results, lacks guidance and feedback, sensitive to data quality (missing values, outliers), and scalability issues for large, complex datasets.
