Supervised Learning

Supervised learning is a type of statistical learning where a model is trained on labeled data, with the goal of accurately predicting a response variable for future observations, using methods such as linear regression, logistic regression, and support vector machines.

Overview

Supervised learning is a foundational concept in machine learning that involves training models on labeled datasets. By learning from input-output pairs, these models can make predictions on new, unseen data. This approach is widely used in various applications, such as email filtering, image recogn...

Key Terms

Labeled Data
Data that has been tagged with the correct output.

Example: In a dataset of emails, labeled data would indicate which emails are spam and which are not.

Training Set
A subset of data used to train a model.

Example: 80% of the dataset is often used as a training set.

Test Set
A subset of data used to evaluate the performance of a model.

Example: The remaining 20% of the dataset is used as a test set.

Overfitting
When a model learns the training data too well, including noise.

Example: A model that performs well on training data but poorly on test data is likely overfitting.

Accuracy
The ratio of correctly predicted instances to the total instances.

Example: If a model predicts 90 out of 100 instances correctly, its accuracy is 90%.

Precision
The ratio of true positive predictions to the total predicted positives.

Example: If a model predicts 10 emails as spam and 8 are actually spam, its precision is 80%.
