In this section, we introduce a variety of supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms. The algorithms presented here provide a foundation for understanding other machine learning methods (e.g., linear and logistic regression), and others like Random forests and Extreme Stochastic Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) are widely used in applied machine learning.

We will survey the various learning algorithms from a conceptual level. In general, the discussion will cut across

• What a particular algorithm is all about and how it works.

• How we ...
