Download or read book Introduction to Classifier Performance Analysis with R written by Sutaip L.C. Saw and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2024-12-03 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classification problems are common in business, medicine, science, engineering and other sectors of the economy. Data scientists and machine learning professionals solve these problems through the use of classifiers. Choosing one of these data driven classification algorithms for a given problem is a challenging task. An important aspect involved in this task is classifier performance analysis (CPA). Introduction to Classifier Performance Analysis with R provides an introductory account of commonly used CPA techniques for binary and multiclass problems, and use of the R software system to accomplish the analysis. Coverage draws on the extensive literature available on the subject, including descriptive and inferential approaches to CPA. Exercises are included at the end of each chapter to reinforce learning. Key Features: An introduction to binary and multiclass classification problems is provided, including some classifiers based on statistical, machine and ensemble learning. Commonly used techniques for binary and multiclass CPA are covered, some from less well-known but useful points of view. Coverage also includes important topics that have not received much attention in textbook accounts of CPA. Limitations of some commonly used performance measures are highlighted. Coverage includes performance parameters and inferential techniques for them. Also covered are techniques for comparative analysis of competing classifiers. A key contribution involves the use of key R meta-packages like tidyverse and tidymodels for CPA, particularly the very useful yardstick package. This is a useful resource for upper level undergraduate and masters level students in data science, machine learning and related disciplines. Practitioners interested in learning how to use R to evaluate classifier performance can also potentially benefit from the book. The material and references in the book can also serve the needs of researchers in CPA.

Download or read book Model Based Clustering and Classification for Data Science written by Charles Bouveyron and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2019-07-25 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cluster analysis finds groups in data automatically. Most methods have been heuristic and leave open such central questions as: how many clusters are there? Which method should I use? How should I handle outliers? Classification assigns new observations to groups given previously classified observations, and also has open questions about parameter tuning, robustness and uncertainty assessment. This book frames cluster analysis and classification in terms of statistical models, thus yielding principled estimation, testing and prediction methods, and sound answers to the central questions. It builds the basic ideas in an accessible but rigorous way, with extensive data examples and R code; describes modern approaches to high-dimensional data and networks; and explains such recent advances as Bayesian regularization, non-Gaussian model-based clustering, cluster merging, variable selection, semi-supervised and robust classification, clustering of functional data, text and images, and co-clustering. Written for advanced undergraduates in data science, as well as researchers and practitioners, it assumes basic knowledge of multivariate calculus, linear algebra, probability and statistics.

Download or read book Supervised Machine Learning for Text Analysis in R written by Emil Hvitfeldt and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-10-22 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Text data is important for many domains, from healthcare to marketing to the digital humanities, but specialized approaches are necessary to create features for machine learning from language. Supervised Machine Learning for Text Analysis in R explains how to preprocess text data for modeling, train models, and evaluate model performance using tools from the tidyverse and tidymodels ecosystem. Models like these can be used to make predictions for new observations, to understand what natural language features or characteristics contribute to differences in the output, and more. If you are already familiar with the basics of predictive modeling, use the comprehensive, detailed examples in this book to extend your skills to the domain of natural language processing. This book provides practical guidance and directly applicable knowledge for data scientists and analysts who want to integrate unstructured text data into their modeling pipelines. Learn how to use text data for both regression and classification tasks, and how to apply more straightforward algorithms like regularized regression or support vector machines as well as deep learning approaches. Natural language must be dramatically transformed to be ready for computation, so we explore typical text preprocessing and feature engineering steps like tokenization and word embeddings from the ground up. These steps influence model results in ways we can measure, both in terms of model metrics and other tangible consequences such as how fair or appropriate model results are.

Download or read book Explanatory Model Analysis written by Przemyslaw Biecek and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-02-15 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explanatory Model Analysis Explore, Explain and Examine Predictive Models is a set of methods and tools designed to build better predictive models and to monitor their behaviour in a changing environment. Today, the true bottleneck in predictive modelling is neither the lack of data, nor the lack of computational power, nor inadequate algorithms, nor the lack of flexible models. It is the lack of tools for model exploration (extraction of relationships learned by the model), model explanation (understanding the key factors influencing model decisions) and model examination (identification of model weaknesses and evaluation of model's performance). This book presents a collection of model agnostic methods that may be used for any black-box model together with real-world applications to classification and regression problems.
