Logistic regression & Bernoulli distribution Logistic regression is a statistical method used for analyzing datasets in which there are one or more independent variables that determine an outcome. The outcome is typically a binary variable,…
Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) Comparison and Use in Feature Selection By applying AIC and BIC in feature selection, we can make informed decisions about which features to include in their models,…
We should normalize or standardize data before applying KNN because the algorithm is distance-based, and unscaled features can distort distance calculations, leading to biased results. In this example, we’ll use the Iris dataset, which is…
K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) is a popular algorithm used for both classification and regression tasks. In KNN, the output is a class membership, which is assigned based on the majority of the k nearest data points.…
Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) is a classifier that creates a linear decision boundary by fitting class-conditional densities to the data and applying Bayes’ rule. The model assumes that each class follows a Gaussian distribution with…
Stepwise feature selection is a systematic approach to identifying the most relevant features for a predictive model by combining both forward and backward selection techniques. The process begins with either an empty model. Then, we…
Backward feature selection involves iteratively removing the least significant feature from a model based on adjusted R-squared. In this example, we are predicting nuts collected by squirrels, features like temperature and rainfall are chosen as…
Forward feature selection starts with an empty model and adds features one by one. At each step, the feature that improves the model performance the most is added to the model. The process continues until…
