Hands-On Machine Learning with C++ - Second Edition
By :
Nowadays, deep learning has become increasingly popular for classification tasks too, especially when dealing with complex and high-dimensional data such as images, audio, and text. Deep neural networks can learn hierarchical representations of data that allow them to perform accurate classification. In this chapter, we concentrate on more classical classification approaches because they are still applicable and usually require fewer computational resources. Specifically, we will discuss some of the classification methods such as logistic regression, kernel ridge regression (KRR), the kNN method, and SVM approaches.
Logistic regression determines the degree of dependence between the categorical dependent and one or more independent variables by using the logistic function. It aims to find the values of the coefficients for the input variables, as with linear regression. The difference, in the case of logistic regression...
