Linear & Multilinear Regression

Linear regression is one of the most basic and commonly used statistical techniques in machine learning. The link between a dependent variable (target) and one or more independent variables (features) is modeled using this technique. The objective is to find the optimal linear equation that fits the data and can be used to forecast the dependent variable using the values of the independent variables. Simple Linear Regression   The one independent variable (feature) and the single dependent variable (target) in basic linear regression. A straight line is used to depict their relationship. It involves one independent variable: y = β 0 + β 1 × x + ϵ  y  is the dependent variable (target). x  is the independent variable (feature). β 0  is the y-intercept (constant term). β 1 ​ is the slope of the line (coefficient for the feature). ϵ  is the error term (residual). Multiple Linear Regression In multiple linear regression, there are numerous independent variable...

Fine-tuning

Fine-tuning in machine learning refers to optimizing a model’s performance by adjusting its hyperparameters, improving data processing steps, or refining the model architecture. Here are some common Fine-tuning methods with examples: Hyperparameter Tuning: Hyperparameters are settings not learned from the data but set before the training begins. Fine-tuning involves searching for the optimal set of hyperparameters to improve model performance. a. Grid Search Grid Search is an exhaustive search over a specified parame ter grid. It trains a model for every combination of hyperparameters and selects the best combination based on cross-validation performance. import pandas as pd from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split, GridSearchCV from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler # Sample Data (replace with your actual dataset) data = {     'Age' : [ 25 , 30 , 35 , 40 , 50 , 28 , 45 ],     '...

Sci-Kit-Learn

Scikit-learn is a widely used open-source machine learning library in Python that provides various data analysis and modeling tools. It is built on top of other scientific computing libraries such as NumPy, SciPy, and matplotlib. Scikit-learn is known for its simplicity, efficiency, and ease of use, making it a popular choice for both beginners and experienced practitioners. Use of SciKit Learn Supervised Learning Algorithms: Classification: Algorithms for predicting categorical outcomes. Examples include Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machines (SVM), Decision Trees, Random Forests, and Gradient Boosting Machines. Regression: Algorithms for predicting continuous outcomes.
