Abstract
Machine Learning (ML) stands as a field of study dedicated to algorithms and
statistical models enabling computer systems to execute tasks without explicit
programming. These learning algorithms find widespread application in our daily
lives, exemplified by web search engines like Google, proficiently ranking pages
due to learned algorithms. These versatile algorithms serve myriad purposes,
including data mining, image processing, and predictive analytics. A key
advantage lies in the autonomous functionality of ML algorithms once they
comprehend how to process data. This paper provides a concise overview and
outlines prospects for the extensive applications of machine learning algorithms,
highlighting their pervasive impact across various domains.
1. Introduction
Machine learning involves programming computers to optimize performance
based on experiential learning. This includes creating predictive models for
future forecasts and descriptive models to extract knowledge from data. The core
of machine learning is the execution of computer programs that iteratively refine
their parameters using training data or experiential input.
Within the realm of artificial intelligence, machine learning is dedicated to
developing algorithms and statistical models that empower computers to
autonomously enhance their performance across various tasks through learning
from data. It encompasses various types, such as supervised learning (training on
labeled data) and unsupervised learning (training on unlabeled data).
Machine learning is widely applied in diverse domains, including image and
speech recognition, natural language processing, and recommender systems. The
adaptability and improvement capability of machine learning programs based on
experiences make them invaluable for enhancing computer capabilities.
In essence, a machine learning program's defining feature is its ability to learn
from experience, representing a significant advancement in computer system
capabilities.

2. Selection of Machine learning algorithms:
2.1 Linear Regression: -
Linear Regression stands out as one of the most straightforward
and widely adopted machine learning algorithms, recognized for its
simplicity and effectiveness in predictive analysis. This statistical
method serves the purpose of making predictions based on data. There
are two types of linear regression: -
 Simple Linear Regression
 Multiple Linear Regression
2.2 Decision Trees: -

The decision algorithm belongs to the domain of supervised learning
algorithms, demonstrating versatility by functioning effectively with
both continuous and categorical output variable The branches or
edges represent the result of the node and the node have either: -
 Conditions [Decision Nodes]
 Result [End Nodes]
The edges represent the true or false of the statement decides based on
those conditions.
2.3 Random Forest:
Ensemble learning stands out as a potent strategy, merging forecasts
from a multitude of decision trees to deliver outcomes that are not
only more accurate but also robust. This methodology falls within the
realm of supervised learning, finding application in both classification
and regression tasks.
2.4 Support Vector Machines (SVM):

Support Vector Machines (SVM) is a supervised machine learning
algorithm tailored for both classification and regression tasks. Its core
objective is to pinpoint the optimal hyperplane within an n-
dimensional space, efficiently partitioning data points into distinct
classes within the feature space.

Common Evaluation Metrics for Predictive Models

1. Mean Squared Error (MSE):
 Quantifies the average squared disparity between predicted and actual
values
 Suitable for regression problems.
 Lower MSE indicates better model performance.
2. Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE):
 Equivalent to the square root of the Mean Squared Error (MSE).
 Offers a more interpretable metric in the same units as the target
variable.
3. Mean Absolute Error (MAE):
 Quantifies the average absolute discrepancy between predicted and
actual values.
 Robust to outliers, but less sensitive to large errors compared to MSE.

4. R-squared (R2):
 Indicates the proportion of the variance in the dependent variable
explained by the model.
 Ranges from 0 to 1, with higher values indicating better fit.
5. Accuracy:
 Measures the proportion of correctly classified instances in
classification problems.
 Suitable for balanced datasets.
6. Precision:
 Measures the accuracy of positive predictions.
 Precision = Positives / (Positives + Positives).
7. Recall (Sensitivity or Positive Rate):
 Assesses the model's efficacy in capturing all positive instances.
 Recall = Positives / (Positives + Negatives).
8. F1 Score:
 Harmonic mean of precision and recall.
 F1 Score = 2 * (Precision * Recall) / (Precision + Recall).

Developing interpretable models remains paramount, especially in applications
requiring clear model insights. Additionally, continuous monitoring mechanisms
and ethical considerations should be integrated to ensure ongoing accuracy,
