This document provides an overview of classification-based machine learning algorithms, primarily focusing on naive Bayes classifiers and decision trees. It explains the workings of the naive Bayes classifier using Bayes' theorem and class-conditional independence, along with hands-on examples. Furthermore, it outlines the process of building decision trees using the ID3 algorithm, entropy, information gain, and the k-nearest neighbors classification method.
![Example
● We can now use the training set to classify an
unknown case (Age=48 and Loan=$142,000)
using Euclidean distance.
● If K=1 then the nearest neighbor is the last
case in the training set with Default=Y
● D = Sqrt[(48-33)^2 + (142000-150000)^2] =
8000.01 >> Default=Y
● With K=3, there are two Default=Y and one
Default=N out of three closest neighbors. The
prediction for the unknown case is again
Default=Y

- 2. What is Classification? Classification is a data mining task of predicting the value of a categorical variable (target or class) This is done by building a model based on one or more numerical and/or categorical variables ( predictors, attributes or features) Considered an instance of supervised learning Corresponding unsupervised procedure is known as clustering 2
- 3. Classification Based Algorithms Four main groups of classification algorithms are: ● Frequency Table - ZeroR - OneR - Naive Bayesian - Decision Tree ● Covariance Matrix - Linear Discriminant Analysis - Logistic Regression ● Similarity Functions - K Nearest Neighbours ● Others - Artificial Neural Network - Support Vector Machine 3
- 4. 4 Naive Bayes Classifier ● Works based on Bayes’ theorem ● Why its is called Naive? - Because it assumes that the presence of a particular feature in a class is unrelated to the presence of any other feature ● Easy to build ● Useful for very large data sets
- 5. Bayes’ Theorem The theorem can be stated mathematically as follow: P(A) and P(B) are the probabilities of observing A and B without regard to each other. Also known as Prior Probability. P(A | B), a conditional (Posterior) probability, is the probability of observing event A given that B is true. P(B | A) is the conditional (Posterior)probability of observing event B given that A is true. So, how does naive bayes classifier work based on this? 5
- 6. How Naive Bayes works? ● Let D be a training set of tuples and each tuple is represented by n-dimensional attribute vector, X = ( x1, x2, ….., xn) ● Suppose that there are m classes, C1, C2,...., Cm. Given a tuple, X, the classifier will predict that X belongs to the class having the highest posterior probability, conditioned on X. That is, the Naive Bayesian classifier predicts that tuple X belongs to the class Ci if and only if ● By Bayes’ theorem ● P(X) is constant for all classes, only needs to be maximized 6
- 7. How Naive Bayes works? (Contd.) ● To reduce computation in evaluating , the naive assumption of class-conditional independence is made. This presumes that the attributes’ values are conditionally independent of one another, given the class label of the tuple (i.e., that there are no dependence relationships among the attributes). This assumption is called class conditional independence. ● Thus, 7
- 8. How Naive Bayes Works? (Hands on Calculation) Given all the previous patient's symptoms and diagnosis Does the patient with the following symptoms have the flu? 8 chills runny nose headache fever flu? Y N Mild Y N Y Y No N Y Y N Strong Y Y N Y Mild Y Y N N No N N N Y Strong Y Y N Y Strong N N Y Y Mild Y Y chills runny nose headache fever flu? Y N Mild Y ?
- 9. How Naive Bayes Works? (Hands on Calculation) Contd. First, we compute all possible individual probabilities conditioned on the target attribute (flu). 9 P(Flu=Y) 0.625 P(Flu=N) 0.375 P(chills=Y|flu=Y) 0.6 P(chills=Y|flu=N) 0.333 P(chills=N|flu=Y) 0.4 P(chills=N|flu=N) 0.666 P(runny nose=Y|flu=Y) 0.8 P(runny nose=Y|flu=N) 0.333 P(runny nose=N|flu=Y) 0.2 P(runny nose=N|flu=N) 0.666 P(headache=Mild|flu=Y) 0.4 P(headache=Mild|flu=N) 0.333 P(headache=No|flu=Y) 0.2 P(headache=No|flu=N) 0.333 P(headache=Strong|flu=Y) 0.4 P(headache=Strong|flu=N) 0.333 P(fever=Y|flu=Y) 0.8 P(fever=Y|flu=N) 0.333 P(fever=N|flu=Y) 0.2 P(fever=N|flu=N) 0.666
- 10. How Naive Bayes Works? (Hands on Calculation) Contd. And then decide: P(flu=Y|Given attribute) = P(chills = Y|flu=Y).P(runny nose = N|flu=Y).P(headache = Mild|flu=Y).P(fever = N|flu=Y).P(flu=Y) = 0.6 * 0.2 * 0.4 * 0.2 * 0.625 = 0.006 VS P(flu=N|Given attribute) = P(chills = Y|flu=N).P(runny nose = N|flu=N).P(headache = Mild|flu=N).P(fever = N|flu=N).P(flu=N) = 0.333 * 0.666 * 0.333 * 0.666 * 0.375 = 0.0184 So, Naive Bayes classifier predicts that the patient doesn’t have the flu. 10
- 12. Decision Tree ● Decision tree builds classification or regression models in the form of a tree structure ● It breaks down a dataset into smaller and smaller subsets while at the same time an associated decision tree is incrementally developed. ● The final result is a tree with decision nodes and leaf nodes. - A decision node has two or more branches - Leaf node represents a classification or decision ● The topmost decision node in a tree which corresponds to the best predictor called root node ● Decision trees can handle both categorical and numerical data 12

- 14. So, our tree looks like this... 14
- 15. How it works ● The core algorithm for building decision trees called ID3 by J. R. Quinlan ● ID3 uses Entropy and Information Gain to construct a decision tree 15
- 16. Entropy ● A decision tree is built top-down from a root node and involves partitioning the data into subsets that contain instances with similar values (homogeneous) ● ID3 algorithm uses entropy to calculate the homogeneity of a sample ● If the sample is completely homogeneous the entropy is zero and if the sample is an equally divided it has entropy of one 16
- 17. Compute Two Types of Entropy ● To build a decision tree, we need to calculate two types of entropy using frequency tables as follows: ● a) Entropy using the frequency table of one attribute (Entropy of the Target): 17
- 18. ● b) Entropy using the frequency table of two attributes: 18
- 19. Information Gain ● The information gain is based on the decrease in entropy after a dataset is split on an attribute ● Constructing a decision tree is all about finding attribute that returns the highest information gain (i.e., the most homogeneous branches) 19
- 20. Example ● Step 1: Calculate entropy of the target 20
- 21. Example ● Step 2: The dataset is then split on the different attributes. The entropy for each branch is calculated. ● Then it is added proportionally, to get total entropy for the split. ● The resulting entropy is subtracted from the entropy before the split. ● The result is the Information Gain, or decrease in entropy 21
- 22. Example 22
- 23. Example ● Step 3: Choose attribute with the largest information gain as the decision node 23
- 24. Example ● Step 4a: A branch with entropy of 0 is a leaf node. 24
- 25. Example ● Step 4b: A branch with entropy more than 0 needs further splitting. 25
- 26. Example ● Step 5: The ID3 algorithm is run recursively on the non-leaf branches, until all data is classified. 26
- 27. Decision Tree to Decision Rules ● A decision tree can easily be transformed to a set of rules by mapping from the root node to leaf nodes one by one 27
- 28. Any idea about Random Forest?? After all, Forests are made of trees…. 28
- 30. k-NN Algorithm ● K nearest neighbors is a simple algorithm that stores all available cases and classifies new cases based on a similarity measure (e.g., distance functions) ● KNN has been used in statistical estimation and pattern recognition already in the beginning of 1970’s ● A case is classified by a majority vote of its neighbors, with the case being assigned to the class most common amongst its K nearest neighbors measured by a distance function ● If k =1 , the what will it do? 30

- 32. Distance measures for cont. variables 32
- 33. How many neighbors? ● Choosing the optimal value for K is best done by first inspecting the data ● In general, a large K value is more precise as it reduces the overall noise but there is no guarantee ● Cross-validation is another way to retrospectively determine a good K value by using an independent dataset to validate the K value ● Historically, the optimal K for most datasets has been between 3-10. That produces much better results than 1NN 33
- 34. Example ● Consider the following data concerning credit default. Age and Loan are two numerical variables (predictors) and Default is the target 34
- 35. Example ● We can now use the training set to classify an unknown case (Age=48 and Loan=$142,000) using Euclidean distance. ● If K=1 then the nearest neighbor is the last case in the training set with Default=Y ● D = Sqrt[(48-33)^2 + (142000-150000)^2] = 8000.01 >> Default=Y ● With K=3, there are two Default=Y and one Default=N out of three closest neighbors. The prediction for the unknown case is again Default=Y 35
- 36. Standardized Distance ● One major drawback in calculating distance measures directly from the training set is in the case where variables have different measurement scales or there is a mixture of numerical and categorical variables. ● For example, if one variable is based on annual income in dollars, and the other is based on age in years then income will have a much higher influence on the distance calculated. ● One solution is to standardize the training set 36
- 37. Standardized Distance Using the standardized distance on the same training set, the unknown case returned a different neighbor which is not a good sign of robustness. 37
- 38. Some Confusions... What will happen if k equals to multiple of category or label type? What will happen if k = 1? What will happen if we take k’s value equal to dataset size? 38
