TLDR
The goal of supervised learning is to build a concise model of the distribution of class labels in terms of predictor features, and the resulting classifier is then used to assign class labels to the testing instances where the values of the predictor features are known, but the value of the class label is unknown.
Abstract
The goal of supervised learning is to build a concise model of the distribution of class labels in terms of predictor features. The resulting classifier is then used to assign class labels to the testing instances where the values of the predictor features are known, but the value of the class label is unknown. This paper describes various supervised machine learning classification techniques. Of course, a single chapter cannot be a complete review of all supervised machine learning classification algorithms (also known induction classification algorithms), yet we hope that the references cited will cover the major theoretical issues, guiding the researcher in interesting research directions and suggesting possible bias combinations that have yet to be explored.
