Introduction To Data Classification and Prediction

Data classification and prediction are important concepts in data science that allow organizations to organize data, identify patterns, and make accurate predictions. Various techniques like decision trees, random forests, and support vector machines are used to classify labeled data, while clustering algorithms like K-means and hierarchical clustering group unlabeled data. Performance is evaluated using metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score for classification and silhouette score, Davies-Bouldin index, and Calinski-Harabasz index for clustering.
