    The document discusses various types of classifiers: 1) Decision trees classify data using a tree structure and if-then rules to create precise categories. 2) Naive Bayes classifiers calculate the probability that data will fall into categories and are used to categorize comments, emails, and news. 3) K-nearest neighbors algorithms find the closest data points in multidimensional space to classify new, unseen data. It also defines rule-based classifiers as using if/else rules, and notes the key difference between nearest neighbor and naive Bayes is that naive Bayes is discriminative while nearest neighbor is generative. Finally, it explains logistic regression models probability of events using explanatory variables to obtain odds ratios.

    What are the various types of classifiers?

    Decision trees can be explained to be a supervised machine learning classification

    algorithm that is used to build models like a structure of a tree. This classifier classifies data that

    are finer that is from the tree trunk up to the leaves. It usually uses the if-then rule of

    mathematics as this will enable it to create subcategories that fit into broader categories and

    hence permitting precise and organic categorization (Schein & Ungar., 2017).

    Naïve Bayes classifier is used to calculate the possibility that any data that has been

    provided at any point may fall in one or various groups of categories (Schein & Ungar., 2017).

    This classifier is usually used when categorizing the customers' comments, mails, and even news

    articles into topics, subjects, or even tags that can be organized as per the predetermined

    criterion. K- Nearest neighbors is a pattern that is a recognition algorithm that helps store and

    even learn from training data points by doing calculations on how they correspond to various

    data in n0dimentional space. It mostly aims to find the closest related data in the future and this

    is unseen (Schein & Ungar, 2017).

    What is a rule-based classifier?

    It is a type of classifier that makes the class decision depending on by using numerous "if,

    else" rules. It is easy to interpret these rules and hence the classifier is used to help generate

    descriptive models (Schein & Ungar., 2017).

    What is the difference between the nearest neighbor and naïve Bayes classifier?

    The main difference between the nearest neighbor and naïve Bayes classifier is that the

    naïve Bayes classifier is mostly discriminative but the nearest neighbor is a generative classifier

    (Schein & Ungar., 2017). Naïve Bayes is an eager learning classifier and also it is very fast when

    compared to the nearest neighbor.


    What is logistic regression?

    Logistic regression is a model that is used to model the probability of some events

    existing such as winning or losing, dead or alive, fail or pass. This model is used to obtain an

    odds ration when having more than one explanatory variable (Schein & Ungar., 2017).
