- Feature selection and engineering:
- Feature selection is a process of identifying and selecting the most relevant features from a dataset.
- Relevant features are those that are most likely to be predictive of the target variable.
- Irrelevant features are those that are not predictive of the target variable or that add noise to the data.
- Feature selection can improve the performance of machine learning models by reducing overfitting and improving the interpretability of the models.
- There are a number of different feature selection methods available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages.
- Classification and regression using supervised learning
- Supervised learning is a type of machine learning where the model is trained on a dataset of labeled data. The labeled data consists of pairs of inputs and outputs, where the input is a vector of features and the output is a scalar value.
- Classification is a type of supervised learning where the goal is to predict the class of an input. The class is a categorical variable, such as "red" or "blue".
- Regression is a type of supervised learning where the goal is to predict a continuous value. The continuous value can be anything from a number to a probability.
- Supervised learning algorithms are trained on a dataset of labeled data. The algorithm learns the relationship between the inputs and outputs, and then uses this relationship to make predictions on new data.
- There are many different supervised learning algorithms available, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Some of the most common supervised learning algorithms include:
- Decision trees
- Support vector machines
- Random forests
- Neural networks
