> [!NOTE]- Bullet Notes
> - Classification models
> - supervised
> - classify instances into class (category)
> - can predict class directly or probabilities
> - Each column in data table is feature
> - Each row is sample/tuple/instance
> - K-Nearest neighbors
> - lazy learner
> - memorizes data, doesn't create model during training
> - if k=6 it looks at 6 closes neighbors in dataset
> - predicts based on what these are classified as
> - there can be very different predictions based on k
> - gets very expensive as the dataset grows
> - selecting value of k
> - k is a hyperparameter (user set value )
> - typical values of 3-15
> - lower value can be sensitive to noise
> - higher value risks underfitting
> - distance measures
> - euclidean distance
> - good when data is compact and continuous
> - manhattan distance
> - sum of absolute differences in coordinates
> - good when data is discrete or with large distances
> - Minkowski distance
> - includes euclidean and manhattan
> - parameter allows to interpolate between the two
> - can be used for model tuning since distance function can be changed between euclidean and manhattan
> - features should be standardized to ensure fair distance measures
> - Logistic regression
> - log-odds: natural log of the probability ratio
> - uses a logistic regression to predict the chances of something being categorized in certain way
> - logistic regression $$\hat{p}=\frac{\exp(w_0 + w_1x_i)}{1 + \exp(w_{0} + w_{1}x_{i})}$$
> - output of logistic regression is compared to threshold T
> - default T = 0.5
> - linear regression will underfit for classifying data, logistic regression is better
> - multiple input features: $$\hat{p}= \frac{\exp(w_{0} + w_{1}x_{1i}+\dots+w_{p}x_{p i})}{1+\exp(w_{0} + w_{1}x_{1i}+\dots+w_{p}x_{p i})}$$
> - Gaussian Naive Bayes
> - normal distributions for each outcome
> - Baye's rule: $$P(A|B) = \frac{P(B|A) * P(A)}{P(B)}$$
> - $P(A|B$): Posterior probability
> - Assumptions
> - all input features are independent
> - all input features contribute equally to classification
> - requires that each probability is 0
> - if there is one option that is 0, can add 1 to each to ensure it works
> - Linear Discriminant Analysis
> - supervised
> - dimensional reduction
> - maximize the distance between groups
> - within-class variance is minimized
> - maximize the distances between the means of the two categories on the new axis
> - trying to maximize: $$\frac{(\mu_{1}-\mu_{2})^2}{s_{1}^2-s_{2}^2}$$
> - Top of equation is the distance between the averages of the data projected onto the new line
> - bottom is minimizing the scatter within each category
> - discriminant analysis determines decision boundary between classes
