Chapter 4 Classification

Learning Objectives

By the end of this chapter, you will be able to:

Implement logistic regression and explain how it can be used to classify data into specific groups or classes
Use the K-nearest neighbors clustering algorithm for classification
Use decision trees for data classification, including the ID3 algorithm
Describe the concept of entropy within data
Explain how decision trees such as ID3 aim to reduce entropy
Use decision trees for data classification

This chapter introduces classification problems, classification using linear and logistic regression, K-nearest neighbors classification, and decision trees.

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
