Random Forest Can Accomplish Both Classification and Regression Tasks Think of Random Forest as a team of finance wizards; each expert takes charge of one aspect of data to create powerful prediction models. Collective decision-making approaches like Random Forest often result in more reliable models. […]
PrateekSupervised learning involves data points which have been assigned a desired output value, either categorically (like red or blue) or continuously (such as house price or customer churn rate), such as redness or blueness. It can be applied both for classification and regression problems. With […]
Reinforcement learning is a type of machine learning algorithm that trains computers through trial-and-error to take actions with predictable consequences over time, like robotic navigation or stock trading. It works especially well in situations in which decisions take longer to have their full effects realised, […]
When assessing machine learning models, accuracy is often used as the metric. But this metric alone may not give an accurate portrayal. If your model produces many false positives and few false negatives, your accuracy number might still look impressive. A confusion matrix is an […]
Clustering is a method for organizing data points with similar characteristics into clusters to help better understand it and make more accurate predictions. Distributed algorithms model clusters using complex statistical models like multivariate Gaussian mixture models in expectation-maximization algorithm, making their development both laborious and […]
Classification is one of four machine learning algorithms in supervised learning’s supervised category, used to detect spam, categorize images and diagnose diseases. Classification models predict an exact and discrete class label for input data. Regression models predict continuous variables like income or age. What is […]
Regression is a machine learning algorithm which explores the relationship between dependent and independent variables to make predictions. Regression algorithms are an increasingly popular type of supervised machine learning. They use various input features to predict continuous outputs such as house prices. Different machine learning […]
Support vector machines (SVM) are classification algorithms. Their purpose is to find an optimum decision boundary which isolates individual classes by optimizing margin between close data points of opposing classes. SVMs work best when the data can be divided linearly; however, they can also be […]
PrateekMachine learning (ML) algorithms enable computers to make decisions or predictions without being explicitly programmed for this task. Machine learning processes massive volumes of data faster than human beings can, uncovering patterns which would otherwise be difficult or impossible to spot with conventional analysis techniques. […]
