CHAPTER 2ML Problem Formulation: Setting the Right Objective

This chapter discusses perhaps the most important step in any data science project that involves machine learning problem formulation. A problem can be formulated in various ways employing different solutions: machine learning or not. Further, there are multiple possible ML approaches. Some problems can be solved as supervised classification problems, while others as clustering problems. Additionally, the dependent variables and the set of features are choices that significantly impact the performance of the machine-learning model. This chapter motivates the idea of setting the right objective for solving the business problem at hand; defining the formulation to get the ...
