In this second Classification lesson, you will explore more ways to classify data, and the ramifications for choosing one over the other.
Scikit-Learn offers a similar, but more granular cheat sheet that can further help narrow down your estimators (another term for classifiers):
This map is very helpful as you can 'walk' along its paths to a decision:
- We have >50 samples
- We want to predict a category
- We have labeled data
- We have fewer than 100K samples
- We can choose a Linear SVC
- If that doesn't work, since we have numeric data
- We can try a KNeighbors Classifier and if that doesn't work, try SVC and Ensemble Classifiers
This is a terrific trail to try. For our first foray, explore how well
