Q&A

What is machine learning?

Machine learning is the process of learning patterns from data using algorithms to make predictions or decisions.

How does linear regression work?

Linear regression fits a line to data points, allowing for the prediction of the dependent variable given the independent variable.

What is the difference between regression and classification?

Regression predicts continuous values, while classification predicts discrete values or categories.

What are the pros of decision trees?

Decision trees are easy to understand, interpret, and visualize. They can handle both categorical and numerical data.

Why are random forests used?

Random forests combine multiple decision trees to improve prediction accuracy and reduce overfitting.
