It is a branch of Artificial Intelligence that focuses on creating programs that are capable of learning from data. The goal of Machine Learning is to create algorithms that can generalize patterns from the data and make predictions or decisions based on them.<\/p>\n<p>There are various types of Machine Learning techniques, such as supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning. In this tutorial, we will cover the basics of supervised learning, along with some of the popular algorithms used in the industry for this type of learning.<\/p>\n<h2>What is Supervised Learning?<\/h2>\n<p>Supervised learning is a type of Machine Learning where the algorithm learns from labeled data. Labeled data means that the training set contains input\/output pairs, which the algorithm uses to learn a function that maps inputs to outputs. The goal in supervised learning is to learn a function that can predict the outputs for new inputs that it has not seen before.<\/p>\n<p>There are two types of supervised learning:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Regression<\/strong>: Regression is used when we want to predict a continuous output variable, such as price, temperature, or stock prices.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Classification<\/strong>: Classification is used when we want to predict a categorical output variable, such as whether a person will buy a product or not, whether a patient has a disease or not, or which category an email belongs to (spam or not-spam).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Popular Algorithms for Supervised Learning<\/h2>\n<p>There are many algorithms used for supervised learning. Here are some of the popular ones:<\/p>\n<h3>Linear Regression<\/h3>\n<p>Linear regression is a simple and powerful algorithm used for regression problems. It is used to model the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. It assumes a linear relationship between the input variables and the output. The goal of linear regression is to find the parameters that minimize the difference between the predicted values and the actual values.<\/p>\n<p>The equation for linear regression is:<\/p>\n<pre><code>y = b0 + b1 * x1 + b2 * x2 + ... + bn * xn\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>where y is the output variable, x1, x2, &#8230;, xn are the input variables, and b0, b1, b2, &#8230;, bn are the coefficients that need to be learned.<\/p>\n<h3>Logistic Regression<\/h3>\n<p>Logistic regression is a classification algorithm used for binary classification problems. It is used to find the probability of an event occurring or not occurring based on the input variables. It assumes a linear relationship between the input variables and the log odds of the output.<\/p>\n<p>The equation for logistic regression is:<\/p>\n<pre><code>P(y=1|x) = 1 \/ (1 + e^(-(b0 + b1 * x1 + b2 * x2 + ... + bn * xn)))\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>where P(y=1|x) is the probability of the output being 1 given the input variables x, and b0, b1, b2, &#8230;, bn are the coefficients that need to be learned.<\/p>\n<h3>Naive Bayes<\/h3>\n<p>Naive Bayes is a classification algorithm based on Bayes&#8217; theorem. It assumes that the input variables are independent of each other given the output variable. Naive Bayes uses a probabilistic approach to classify the input variables into different categories.<\/p>\n<p>The equation for Naive Bayes is:<\/p>\n<pre><code>P(y|x) = P(y) * P(x|y) \/ P(x)\n<\/code><\/pre>\n<p>where P(y|x) is the probability of the output variable y given the input variables x, P(y) is the prior probability of y, P(x|y) is the conditional probability of x given y, and P(x) is the prior probability of x.<\/p>\n<h3>Decision Trees<\/h3>\n<p>Decision Trees are a popular algorithm used for both regression and classification problems. They are used to model decisions based on certain input features. Decision Trees use a tree-like structure to represent the decisions made at each step. The decision tree is built by recursively partitioning the input space into different regions based on the input features.<\/p>\n<p>The goal of a decision tree is to minimize the number of questions asked to classify the input variables. The more efficient the decision tree, the less the input variables will be questioned.<\/p>\n<h3>Random Forest<\/h3>\n<p>Random Forest is an ensemble algorithm that combines multiple decision trees to improve accuracy and reduce overfitting. Random Forest works by building a large number of decision trees and aggregating their predictions to make the final prediction. The trees are built using a sample of the input data and a random subset of the input features.<\/p>\n<p>Random Forest works well for both regression and classification problems and is widely used in industry.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>In this tutorial, we covered the basics of supervised learning and some popular algorithms used in the industry. Machine Learning is a vast field, and there are many more algorithms and techniques that we didn&#8217;t cover in this tutorial. However, understanding the basics of supervised learning is crucial for anyone interested in the field of Machine Learning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Machine Learning has become one of the most popular fields in the industry today.
