Radius Neighbors Classifier is a classification machine learning algorithm. It is an extension to the k-nearest neighbors algorithm that makes predictions using all examples in the radius of a new example rather than the k-closest neighbors. As such, the radius-based approach to selecting neighbors is more appropriate for sparse data, preventing examples that are far away in the feature space from contributing to a prediction. In this tutorial, you will discover the Radius Neighbors Classifier classification machine learning algorithm. After […]

The Gaussian Processes Classifier is a classification machine learning algorithm. Gaussian Processes are a generalization of the Gaussian probability distribution and can be used as the basis for sophisticated non-parametric machine learning algorithms for classification and regression. They are a type of kernel model, like SVMs, and unlike SVMs, they are capable of predicting highly calibrated class membership probabilities, although the choice and configuration of the kernel used at the heart of the method can be challenging. In this tutorial, […]

Regression is a modeling task that involves predicting a numerical value given an input. Algorithms used for regression tasks are also referred to as “regression” algorithms, with the most widely known and perhaps most successful being linear regression. Linear regression fits a line or hyperplane that best describes the linear relationship between inputs and the target numeric value. If the data contains outlier values, the line can become biased, resulting in worse predictive performance. Robust regression refers to a suite […]

Regression is a modeling task that involves predicting a numeric value given an input. Linear regression is the standard algorithm for regression that assumes a linear relationship between inputs and the target variable. An extension to linear regression involves adding penalties to the loss function during training that encourage simpler models that have smaller coefficient values. These extensions are referred to as regularized linear regression or penalized linear regression. Elastic net is a popular type of regularized linear regression that […]
