Study Notes
Machine Learning Algorithms
- Three main categories of ML algorithms: Classification, Regression, and Clustering
- Examples of algorithms: Logistic Regression, Linear Regression, K-Means, SVM, Naïve-Bayes, Nearest Neighbor, Decision Trees, Random Forests, and Hidden Markov Model
Regression Problem
- Regression analysis models the relationship between a continuous dependent variable and one or more independent variables
- Goal: find the best-fit line that minimizes the difference between observed and predicted values
- Regression is sensitive to outliers, which can distort the model
- Proper handling of outliers is crucial for accuracy and reliability of the regression model
Classification Problem
- Classification predicts the category or class of an input based on prior observations, producing discrete labels (e.g., "spam" or "not spam")
- Goal: assign accurate labels to new data
- Popular algorithms: logistic regression and decision trees
- Classification involves input features and class labels (target) in the training dataset
