Classification is used to assign items to a discrete group or class

based on a specific set of features. Classification algorithms are a
core component of statistical learning / machine learning.
In this webinar we introduce the classification capabilities included in
Statistics Toolbox.
Representative examples include:
Identifying vehicle type based on an acoustic signal or an image
Sorting manufactured goods using images (optical quality control)
Assigning a credit rating using information included in a financial
statement
Predicting a tumor type based on a DNA profile
Filtering SPAM using the frequency of different words in an email
Applied examples using real world data sets are used to describe
how you can:
Choose between classification algorithms (bagged decision trees,
nave Bayes classifiers, discriminant analysis, and logistic
regression)
Train your classifier
Evaluate the accuracy of a classifier (confusion matrices, ROC
curves, classification error)
Simplify your classification model
