2 ML Supervised LearningClassification Models

In this chapter, we will handle the case where we have a set of predictor data on the one hand and a response variable on the other hand. However, the response variable will resonate between two or more values (i.e., categorical or discrete) rather than having continuous values. In the latter case, it will be dealt with under regression, not classification, models.

Our approach will consist of the following steps, as shown in Figure 2.1:

Fitting Data Using Different Classification Models

We can use the function

fitc*

(replace * by the name of the classifier) to fit a classifier.

For example, the following syntax creates a k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) classification model.

>>knnModel = fitcknn(tbl,'response')

Where

knnModel: Variable containing information about the classification model

tbl: Training data, stored in a table or matrix

response: Name of the response variable stored in the input table.

Customizing a Model

Because of the prior knowledge we have about the data or after looking at the classification results, we may want to customize the classifier. We can update and customize the model by setting different options using the fitting functions.

Set the options by providing ...
