Last Updated on August 28, 2020 Spot-checking is a way of discovering which algorithms perform well on your machine learning problem. You cannot know which algorithms are best suited to your problem before hand. You must trial a number of methods and focus attention on those that prove themselves the most promising. In this post you will discover 6 machine learning algorithms that you can use when spot checking your classification problem in Python with scikit-learn. Kick-start your project with […]
