Classification organizes items based on criteria. In data, it involves sorting into categories. It’s manual or automated with algorithms. Used in science, business, and technology to analyze and predict based on data. Crucial in document categorization, image recognition, sentiment analysis, and spam filtering for efficient data organization and analysis.
The coefficient of determination, or R-squared, measures how well an independent variable explains the variability of a dependent variable in a regression model. Its limitation lies in the fact that it does not decrease when a new feature is added, whether useful or not. Adjusted R-squared is an improvement, considering the number of predictors in a model, making it more reliable for assessing explanatory power.
Feature selection involves identifying and including essential variables in the model, possibly leading to improved performance and interpretability. Adjusted R-squared is a common metric for regression analysis, addressing overfitting by penalizing unnecessary variables and offering an accurate model representation.
The coefficient of determination (R-squared) measures how well a model explains the variance of the response variable. In this example, Python and R are used to calculate R-squared for linear regression. Higher R-squared value and the plot indicate a good fit, demonstrating the effectiveness of the model.
This content provides an example of simulating and detecting heteroscedasticity in data using Python. We simulate the data, fit the model, and analyze how to detect heteroscedasticity, and how to address this using a log transformation.
Multiple linear regression is a powerful tool for modeling relationships between multiple independent variables and a single dependent variable. Let’s take a look at some examples with codes in Python and R to demonstrate its practical application
Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) is a statistical method that estimates parameters by maximizing the likelihood function. For example, in a Poisson distribution, the MLE for the rate parameter ? is the sample mean. And here is the detailed derivation
Forward selection adds features one by one, optimizing model performance but potentially missing the best subset. Backward selection starts with all features and removes the least significant, refining the model but being more computationally intensive. Stepwise selection combines both methods, adding or removing features for a balanced approach but can be complex.

implementing Lasso regression with train-validation-test split and finding the optimal regularization parameter. In Python, it involves splitting the data, training Lasso model with different alpha values, finding the best alpha, retraining the model, and evaluating on the test set. In R, it includes data splitting, training Lasso models, finding the best lambda, retraining, and testing.
The training-validation-test split involves using the training set to fit the model, the validation set to tune hyperparameters, and the test set to evaluate performance. Python’s scikit-learn library can be used for this process, ensuring the model generalizes well to new data by evaluating it on unseen data and avoiding overfitting.
Underfitting in machine learning occurs when a model fails to capture underlying data patterns due to simplicity or insufficient training data. To address underfitting, select complex models, add features, and obtain more training data. Also, fine-tune hyperparameters and optimize the model’s architecture. Few features in a model can also cause underfitting, requiring the identification of relevant additional features or more advanced modeling techniques.
This comic explains MSE and MAE, the commonly used evaluation metrics for regression. MSE emphasizes large deviations, while MAE provides a more robust measure when outliers are less significant. MSE is preferred as a loss function due to its ability to penalize larger errors more heavily and its suitability for mathematical optimization, stability, and statistical interpretation. RMSE is the square root of MSE and also penalizes large errors.
Machine learning parameters are values learned from training data to minimize prediction errors. For example, in a uniform distribution for bus arrival times, parameters $latex a$ and $latex b$ define the range. They are the model’s knobs for accurate predictions.

Supervised learning involves training an algorithm on labeled data and pairing input with correct output. Unsupervised learning uses unlabeled data to find patterns. For example, predicting pizza delivery tips involves features like time, pizza type, distance, and tip history, with the goal of predicting tip outcomes.
After collecting and preprocessing the dataset, it is essential to divide it into two distinct sets: training set and testing set. The training set is used to train the model while the testing set is used to evaluate its performance. This allows assessment of the model’s generalization to new data. Two code examples in Python and R demonstrate how to create synthetic data and split it into training and testing sets using popular libraries.
Model generalization in machine learning is a crucial concept that refers to the ability of a trained model to perform well on new, unseen data. When a model generalizes well, it demonstrates an understanding of… A comic guide to model generalization and overfitting

Assessing assumptions like linearity, constant variance, error independence, and normal residuals is essential for linear regression. Residual plots visually assess the model’s goodness of fit, identifying patterns and influential data points. This post provides the Python & R codes for the residual plot
Simple linear regression is a statistical method to model the relationship between two continuous variables, aiming to predict the dependent variable based on the independent variable. The regression equation is Y = a + bX, where Y is the dependent variable, X is the independent variable, a is the intercept, and b is the slope. The method of least squares minimizes the sum of squared residuals to find the best-fitting line coefficients.
Model ensembling combines multiple models to improve overall performance by leveraging diverse data patterns. Bagging trains model instances on different data bootstraps, while Boosting corrects errors sequentially. Stacking combines models using a meta-model, and Voting uses majority/average predictions. Ensembles reduce variance without significantly increasing bias, but may complicate interpretation and computational cost.

Batch normalization is a crucial technique for training deep neural networks, offering benefits such as stabilized learning, reduced internal covariate shift, and acting as a regularizer. Its process involves computing the mean and variance for each mini-batch and implementing normalization. In PyTorch, it can be easily implemented.
When using early stopping, it’s important to save and reload the model’s best weights to maximize performance. In PyTorch, this involves tracking the best validation loss, saving the best weights, and then reloading them after early stopping. Practical considerations include model checkpointing, choosing the right validation metric.
Early stopping is a vital technique in deep learning training to prevent overfitting by monitoring model performance on a validation dataset and stopping training when the performance degrades. It saves time and resources, and enhances model performance. Implementing it involves monitoring, defining patience, and training termination. Practical considerations include metric selection, patience tuning, checkpointing, and monitoring multiple metrics.
