Case Study 3

The document discusses using a support vector machine for binary classification on college data to predict if a college is private or public. It covers loading and preprocessing the data, fitting a linear SVM and observing accuracy, preprocessing with standard scaling and refitting, and using grid search to find the best hyperparameters for a nonlinear SVM.

Module 9 – Supervised Learning - 2

Case Study

Objective:

• Employ SVM from scikit learn for binary classification.


• Impact of preprocessing data and hyper paramter search using grid search.

Questions:

1. Load the data from “college.csv” that has attributes collected about private and
public colleges for a particular year. We will try to predict the private/public
status of the college from other attributes.

2. Use LabelEncoder to encode the target variable in to numerical form and split
the data such that 20% of the data is set aside for testing.

3. Fit a linear svm from scikit learn and observe the accuracy.
[Hint: Use Linear SVC]

4. Preprocess the data using StandardScalar and fit the same model again and
observe the change in accuracy.
[Hint: Refer to scikitlearn’s preprocessing methods]

5. Use scikit learn’s gridsearch to select the best hyperparameter for a non-linear
SVM, identify the model with best score and its parameters.
[Hint: Refer to model_selection module of Scikit learn]
