ML Algorithms

It is a type of supervised learning

algorithm (having a pre-defined target
variable) that is mostly used
in continuous problems. It works only for
continuous input and output variables.
Linear
Regression
E.g. House Price – One variable (no. of
rooms)
 It is a type of supervised learning
algorithm (having a pre-defined target
variable) that is mostly used
in continuous problems. It works only for
Multi continuous input and output variables.
Linear
Regression
E.g. House Price –Multiple inputs (sq
feet, no. of rooms, etc.)
 Logistic regression performs binary
classification, so the label outputs are
binary. It is mostly used in continuous
problems.
Logistic
Regression
E.g. Bank issuing a credit card
Output - Yes or No
Input – Credit score, salary, etc
 Decision Tree

• It is a type of supervised
learning algorithm (having a
pre-defined target variable)
that is mostly used
in classification problems. It
works for both categorical
and continuous input and
output variables
• E.g. Banks loan defaulters
 kNN (k- Nearest
Neighbors)

• It is a type of unsupervised
learning algorithm.
• It can be used for both
classification and regression
problems. However, it is more
widely used in classification
problems in the industry.
• K nearest neighbors is a simple
algorithm that stores all
available cases and classifies
new cases by a majority vote
of its k neighbors.
 Support Vector Machine (SVM) is a supervised
machine learning technique that is widely
used in pattern recognition and classification

Support problems. It is more complex than KNN.

E.g. detecting persons with common diseases
such as diabetes
