Since no single form of classification is appropriate for all data sets, a large toolkit of classification algorithms has been developed. The most commonly used include: [ 9 ] Artificial neural networks – Computational model used in machine learning, based on connected, hierarchical functions Pages displaying short descriptions of redirect ...
Decision tree learning is a supervised learning approach used in statistics, data mining and machine learning.In this formalism, a classification or regression decision tree is used as a predictive model to draw conclusions about a set of observations.
This category is about statistical classification algorithms. For more information, see Statistical classification. ... Neural network (machine learning)
In machine learning, a linear classifier makes a classification decision for each object based on a linear combination of its features.Such classifiers work well for practical problems such as document classification, and more generally for problems with many variables (), reaching accuracy levels comparable to non-linear classifiers while taking less time to train and use.
The decision trees generated by C4.5 can be used for classification, and for this reason, C4.5 is often referred to as a statistical classifier. In 2011, authors of the Weka machine learning software described the C4.5 algorithm as "a landmark decision tree program that is probably the machine learning workhorse most widely used in practice to ...
In machine learning, a probabilistic classifier is a classifier that is able to predict, given an observation of an input, a probability distribution over a set of classes, rather than only outputting the most likely class that the observation should belong to.
In machine learning and statistical classification, multiclass classification or multinomial classification is the problem of classifying instances into one of three or more classes (classifying instances into one of two classes is called binary classification). For example, deciding on whether an image is showing a banana, an orange, or an ...
In statistics, the k-nearest neighbors algorithm (k-NN) is a non-parametric supervised learning method. It was first developed by Evelyn Fix and Joseph Hodges in 1951, [1] and later expanded by Thomas Cover. [2] Most often, it is used for classification, as a k-NN classifier, the output of which is a class membership
