Decision trees are supervised machine-learning models used to solve classification and regression problems. They help to make decisions by breaking down a problem with a bunch of if-else-then-like evaluations that result in a tree-like structure. For quality and viable decisions to be made, a decision tree builds itself by splitting

In the modern world, so much data is present on the internet. Organizations need efficient and rigorous algorithms to handle these huge chunks of data, make practical analyses, and provide appropriate decisions relevant to maximizing their profits and market presence. There are such algorithms commonly used today for decision-making processes.

Logistic regression in Python with Scikit-learn Members Public

In linear regression, we tried to understand the relationship between one or more predictor variables and a continuous response variable. This article will explore logistic regression, where the response variable will be discrete or categorical. What is classification? Classification is a supervised machine learning problem of predicting which category or
