Selecting machine learning algorithms

This section is the most important one. Here, we will try a couple of different ML algorithms in order to get an idea about which ML algorithm performs better. Also, we will perform a training accuracy comparison.

By this time, you will definitely know that this particular problem is considered a classification problem. The algorithms that we are going to choose are as follows (this selection is based on intuition):

K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN)
Logistic Regression
AdaBoost
GradientBoosting
RandomForest

Our first step is to generate the training data in a certain format. We are going to split the training dataset into a training and testing dataset. So, basically, we are preparing the input for our training. This is common ...

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.
