What is Supervised Learning Regression Models Classification Models Hands-on Code Example AI-ML Engineering 3

 Here's a detailed explanation, starting from the basics and advancing to the hands-on lab sessions, for "Supervised Learning", including Regression Models and Classification Models.

1. Introduction to Supervised Learning

Supervised learning is a machine learning paradigm where a model is trained on labeled data to make predictions. The data consists of:

• Features (Input Variables, X): Independent variables used to predict the outcome.
• Labels (Target Variable, Y): The outcome we want to predict.

Types of Supervised Learning:

1. Regression: Predicts continuous values (e.g., house prices, temperatures).
2. Classification: Predicts discrete categories or classes (e.g., spam email detection, disease diagnosis).

2. Regression Models

Regression models are used to predict a continuous output.

2.1 Linear Regression

Linear Regression finds the best-fit line through the data points.

Equation:

$Y = \beta_0 + \beta_1X + \epsilon$
Where:

• $\beta_0$: Intercept
• $\beta_1$: Slope of the line
• $\epsilon$: Error term

Steps:

1. Load the dataset.
2. Split into training and testing datasets.
3. Fit a line to minimize the sum of squared errors.
4. Use the line to make predictions.

Hands-on Code Example:

from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression
from sklearn.metrics import mean_squared_error, r2_score

# Load dataset
import pandas as pd
data = pd.read_csv('house_prices.csv')  # Example dataset
X = data[['num_bedrooms', 'size_in_sqft']]  # Features
y = data['price']  # Target

# Split the data
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)

# Train the model
model = LinearRegression()
model.fit(X_train, y_train)

# Predict and evaluate
y_pred = model.predict(X_test)
rmse = mean_squared_error(y_test, y_pred, squared=False)
r2 = r2_score(y_test, y_pred)
print(f"RMSE: {rmse}, R-squared: {r2}")

---

2.2 Polynomial Regression

Polynomial Regression models the relationship between X and Y as an nth degree polynomial.

Equation:

$Y = \beta_0 + \beta_1X + \beta_2X^2 + ... + \beta_nX^n + \epsilon$

Key Steps:

1. Transform the features into polynomial terms using PolynomialFeatures.
2. Fit a Linear Regression model.

Code Example:

from sklearn.preprocessing import PolynomialFeatures
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression

# Transform features to polynomial
poly = PolynomialFeatures(degree=2)
X_poly = poly.fit_transform(X)

# Fit the model
model = LinearRegression()
model.fit(X_poly, y)

# Predict and evaluate
y_pred = model.predict(X_poly)

---

2.3 Evaluation Metrics for Regression

1. Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE): Measures average error magnitude. $RMSE = \sqrt{\frac{1}{n} \sum_{i=1}^{n} (y_i - \hat{y}_i)^2}$
2. R-squared: Proportion of variance explained by the model. $R^2 = 1 - \frac{SS_{residual}}{SS_{total}}$

---

3. Classification Models

Classification models are used to predict discrete categories.

3.1 Logistic Regression

Logistic Regression predicts the probability of a class using the sigmoid function.

Sigmoid Function:

$P(Y=1|X) = \frac{1}{1 + e^{-z}}, \; \text{where } z = \beta_0 + \beta_1X$

Code Example:

from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression
from sklearn.metrics import classification_report, roc_auc_score

# Load dataset (e.g., spam email classification)
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = ...  # Use preprocessed data

# Train the model
log_reg = LogisticRegression()
log_reg.fit(X_train, y_train)

# Predict and evaluate
y_pred = log_reg.predict(X_test)
print(classification_report(y_test, y_pred))

---

3.2 Decision Trees

Decision Trees split the dataset into subsets based on feature values, using metrics like Gini Index or Entropy.

Code Example:

from sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeClassifier

# Train the model
dt_model = DecisionTreeClassifier(max_depth=5)
dt_model.fit(X_train, y_train)

# Predict and evaluate
y_pred = dt_model.predict(X_test)

---

3.3 Random Forest

Random Forest is an ensemble of decision trees that aggregates predictions from multiple trees to improve accuracy.

Code Example:

from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier

# Train the model
rf_model = RandomForestClassifier(n_estimators=100, random_state=42)
rf_model.fit(X_train, y_train)

# Predict and evaluate
y_pred = rf_model.predict(X_test)

---

3.4 Gradient Boosting (XGBoost, LightGBM)

Gradient Boosting combines weak learners iteratively to minimize the error.

Code Example (XGBoost):

from xgboost import XGBClassifier

# Train the model
xgb_model = XGBClassifier()
xgb_model.fit(X_train, y_train)

# Predict and evaluate
y_pred = xgb_model.predict(X_test)

---

3.5 Evaluation Metrics for Classification

1. Precision: Proportion of true positive predictions out of all positive predictions. $\text{Precision} = \frac{TP}{TP + FP}$
2. Recall: Proportion of true positives out of all actual positives. $\text{Recall} = \frac{TP}{TP + FN}$
3. F1 Score: Harmonic mean of Precision and Recall. $F1 = 2 \cdot \frac{\text{Precision} \cdot \text{Recall}}{\text{Precision} + \text{Recall}}$
4. AUC-ROC: Measures the trade-off between sensitivity and specificity.

---

4. Hands-On Lab Sessions

4.1 Build a House Price Prediction Model (Linear Regression)

1. Load a dataset with house prices (e.g., num_rooms, area_sqft, price).
2. Split into train and test datasets.
3. Train a Linear Regression model.
4. Evaluate using RMSE and R-squared.

4.2 Classify Spam Emails

1. Use a dataset like the SpamBase dataset.
2. Preprocess the text data (e.g., TF-IDF, bag of words).
3. Train a Logistic Regression model and Random Forest classifier.
4. Evaluate using Precision, Recall, F1 Score, and AUC-ROC.

Spam Email Classification Example:

from sklearn.feature_extraction.text import TfidfVectorizer
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier
from sklearn.metrics import classification_report

# Preprocess text data
tfidf = TfidfVectorizer(stop_words='english')
X = tfidf.fit_transform(email_data['text'])
y = email_data['label']  # 0 for non-spam, 1 for spam

# Train-test split
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.3, random_state=42)

# Train and predict
rf = RandomForestClassifier()
rf.fit(X_train, y_train)
y_pred = rf.predict(X_test)

# Evaluate
print(classification_report(y_test, y_pred))

Supervised Machine Learning: An Overview

In supervised machine learning, models are trained on labeled data to make predictions:

• Regression models predict continuous values (e.g., price, temperature).
• Classification models predict categorical labels (e.g., "spam" or "not spam").

Key Points about Supervised Learning Models

Regression Models

• Goal: Predict a continuous value.
• Examples:
  • Linear Regression: Models a simple linear relationship between variables.
  • Polynomial Regression: Handles non-linear relationships by introducing polynomial terms.
  • Ridge Regression: A regularization technique to address multicollinearity and overfitting.

Classification Models

• Goal: Predict a categorical label.
• Examples:
  • Logistic Regression: Effective for binary classification tasks (e.g., spam detection).
  • Decision Trees: Use hierarchical splits to classify data based on feature values.
  • Naive Bayes Classifier: Based on Bayes' theorem, assumes feature independence for probabilistic classification.

This structured approach enables the development of models tailored to various real-world prediction problems.
