## Machine Learning
- creating predective models by finding relationships in data
**Supervised** - make predicitions based on set of labelled examples in provided data
**Unsupervised** - data isn't labelled = algorithm labels them by organizing data and structure. OUTCOME -> based on similarities
**Reinforcement** - learns from outcomes

**5 key areas of machine learning:**
1. *Classification* - which category?
2. *Regression* - predict how much/many?
3. *Anomaly* - is it weird?
4. *Reinforcement* Learning - What next?
5. *Clustering*, *Recommender* - Data Structure

### Machine Learning Model Types:

- **Classification** (classify images or predict between several categories)
    - supervised
    - predict a category(class)

    - algorithm groups data into clusters
    - predict a category (class)
    - discrete

### Metrics
#### Classification models
- **Accuracy** measures the goodness of a classification model as the proportion of true results to total cases.

- **Precision** is the proportion of true results over all positive results.

- **Recall** is the fraction of all correct results returned by the model.

- **F-score** is computed as the weighted average of precision and recall between 0 and 1, where the ideal F-score value is 1.

- **AUC **measures the area under the curve plotted with true positives on the y axis and false positives on the x axis. This metric is useful because it provides a single number that lets you compare models of different types.

- **Average log loss** is a single score used to express the penalty for wrong results. It is calculated as the difference between two probability distributions – the true one, and the one in the model.

- **Training log** loss is a single score that represents the advantage of the classifier over a random prediction. The log loss measures the uncertainty of your model by comparing the probabilities it outputs to the known values (ground truth) in the labels. You want to minimize log loss for the model as a whole.
#### regression models
- **Negative log likelihood** measures the loss function, a lower score is better. Note that this metric is only calculated for Bayesian Linear Regression and Decision Forest Regression; for other algorithms, the value is Infinity which means for nothing.

- **Mean absolute error (MAE)** measures how close the predictions are to the actual outcomes; thus, a lower score is better.

- **Root mean squared error (RMSE)** creates a single value that summarizes the error in the model. By squaring the difference, the metric disregards the difference between over-prediction and under-prediction.

- **Relative absolute error (RAE)** is the relative absolute difference between expected and actual values; relative because the mean difference is divided by the arithmetic mean.

- **Relative squared error (RSE)** similarly normalizes the total squared error of the predicted values by dividing by the total squared error of the actual values.

- **Mean Zero One Error (MZOE)** indicates whether the prediction was correct or not. In other words: ZeroOneLoss(x,y) = 1 when x!=y; otherwise 0.

- **Coefficient of determination**, often referred to as R2, represents the predictive power of the model as a value between 0 and 1. Zero means the model is random (explains nothing); 1 means there is a perfect fit. However, caution should be used in interpreting R2 values, as low values can be entirely normal and high values can be suspect

#### clutering models
- The **Sweep Clustering** module creates multiple clustering models, listed in order of accuracy. For simplicity, we've shown only the best-ranked model here. Models are measured using all possible metrics, but the models are ranked by using the metric that you specified. If you changed the metric, a different model might be ranked higher.

- The **Combined Evaluation** score at the top of the each section of results lists the averaged scores for the clusters created in that particular model.
This top-ranked model happened to create three clusters; other models might create two clusters, or four clusters. Therefore, this combined evaluation score helps you compare models with different number of clusters.

- The scores in the column, **Average Distance to Cluster Center**, represent the closeness of all points in a cluster to the centroid of that cluster.

- The scores in the column, **Average Distance to Other Center**, represent how close, on average, each point in the cluster is to the centroids of all other clusters.
You can choose any one of four metrics to measure this distance, but all measurements must use the same metric.

- The **Number of Points** column shows how many data points were assigned to each cluster, along with the total overall number of data points in any cluster.
If the number of data points assigned to clusters is less than the total number of data points available, it means that the data points could not be assigned to a cluster.

- The scores in the column, **Maximal Distance to Cluster Center**, represent the sum of the distances between each point and the centroid of that point’s cluster.

- If this number is high, it can mean that the cluster is widely dispersed. You should review this statistic together with the **Average Distance to Cluster Center** to determine the cluster’s spread.
