Algorithms Details

1. Linear Regression

Linear Regression is a fundamental algorithm used for predicting a continuous target variable based on one or more predictor variables. It assumes a linear relationship between the input and output.

• Dataset: Boston Housing Dataset
• Key Features:
  • Easy to implement
  • Interpretable coefficients
  • Suitable for small datasets

2. Logistic Regression

Logistic Regression is used for binary classification problems. It predicts the probability that a given input belongs to a particular category.

• Dataset: Titanic Survival Dataset
• Key Features:
  • Works well with linearly separable data
  • Outputs probabilities
  • Can be extended to multi-class problems

3. Decision Trees

Decision Trees are versatile algorithms that can be used for both classification and regression tasks. They split the data into subsets based on feature values.

• Dataset: Iris Dataset
• Key Features:
  • Easy to visualize
  • Handles both numerical and categorical data
  • Prone to overfitting

4. Support Vector Machines (SVM)

SVM is a powerful algorithm used for classification tasks. It finds the optimal hyperplane that separates different classes.

• Dataset: MNIST Handwritten Digits
• Key Features:
  • Effective in high-dimensional spaces
  • Robust against overfitting
  • Requires careful tuning of parameters

5. K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN)

KNN is a simple, yet effective algorithm used for classification and regression. It predicts the output based on the k-nearest data points.

• Dataset: Wine Quality Dataset
• Key Features:
  • No training phase
  • Sensitive to the choice of k
  • Computationally expensive for large datasets

6. Naive Bayes

Naive Bayes is a probabilistic classifier based on Bayes' theorem. It assumes independence among predictors.

• Dataset: SMS Spam Collection
• Key Features:
  • Fast and efficient
  • Works well with high-dimensional data
  • Assumes independence, which may not always hold
