Machine Learning: Types of Algorithms

The document discusses machine learning algorithms and the machine learning process. It notes that data preparation accounts for 80% of data scientists' work. It then outlines the typical machine learning process, including gathering data, cleaning data, feature engineering, defining a model, and training, testing and predicting with the model. Feature engineering is described as creating and manipulating predictor variables to allow for good predictive modeling.

Feature engineering
A "feature" in the context of predictive modeling is just another name for
a predictor variable.

Feature engineering creates and manipulates predictors so that a good


predictive model can be created

Linear Regression
Statistical technique that uses one or several explanatory variables to
predict the outcome of a response variable, mostly used for forecasting
and finding out cause and effect relationship between variables
Linear Regression
Linear Regression: p-values
A predictor that has a low p-value (< 0.05) is likely to be a meaningful
addition to your model because changes in the predictor's value are
related to changes in the response variable.
