Logistic Regression in Python Scikit-Learn

Algorithms, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Data Science, Machine Learning, Python, Python One-Liners, Scikit-learn Library, sklearn / By

Logistic regression is a popular algorithm for classification problems (despite its name indicating that it is a “regression” algorithm). It belongs to one of the most important algorithms in the machine learning space. Linear Regression Background Let’s review linear regression. Given the training data, we compute a line that fits this training data so that …

SVM sklearn: Python Support Vector Machines Made Simple

Algorithms, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Science, Machine Learning, Python, Python One-Liners, Scikit-learn Library, sklearn, The Numpy Library / By

Support Vector Machines (SVM) have gained huge popularity in recent years. The reason is their robust classification performance – even in high-dimensional spaces: SVMs even work if there are more dimensions (features) than data items. This is unusual for classification algorithms because of the curse of dimensionality – with increasing dimensionality, data becomes extremely sparse …

Sklearn fit() vs transform() vs fit_transform() – What’s the Difference?

Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Machine Learning, Python, sklearn / By

Scikit-learn has a library of transformers to preprocess a data set. These transformers clean, generate, reduce or expand the feature representation of the data set. These transformers provide the fit(), transform() and fit_transform() methods. The fit() method identifies and learns the model parameters from a training data set. For example, standard deviation and mean for …
