B. Types of Machine Learning 3) Retail: Online shops use machine learning to make
There are several types of machine learning, but the three recommendations for products you might like, based on what
main ones are: you have bought and browsed in the past. It is the technology

labeled data. For example, you might give it a list of emails 4) Self Driving Cars: These cars apply machine learning
and classify a few of them as ”spam” and the others ”not to understand their surroundings. Based on data acquired
spam.” These instances teach the computer how to rank if an from cameras and sensors, cars can ’see’ the road, recognize
email that appears is spam or not [13]. obstacles, and make choices like a human [16], [17].
2) Unsupervised Learning:: In this case, the computer
operates independently. The input there is data with more
labels or expectations but no output of a specific response.
The machine then perceives patterns or trends in the data.
For example, without anyone instructing it as to the type of
information to search for, it may look through many consumer
purchases and discern patterns of different sorts of expenses
[14].
3) Reinforcement Learning:: This is like how animals learn
through rewards and punishment. The computer bases its
decision according to its judgments and receives feedback.
A reward is given to it for good decision-making, and for
bad, a penalty is issued. It acquires the ability to make better
decisions so as to maximize rewards over time [15].
A. Logistic Regression
Logistic regression is perhaps the simplest, though most
widely used, classification algorithm; it predicts the likelihood
that a specific binary outcome will occur given one or more
predictor variables. Logistic regression is a type of statistical
model that enables us to make predictions about what the
possibilities are for an outcome with only two possible results,
like ”yes” or ”no,” ”success” or ”failure,” etc. It’s used when
you want to understand the relationship between one or more
factors called independent variables and the outcome that can
be one of two options, called a binary outcome. For example, Fig.3 Decision Tree [21]
logistic regression could predict whether or not a patient has
a disease based on a number of factors, including age, weight, C. Random Forests

determine with input data what decision is best for that action choice trees. That is to say, consider asking a panel of experts
[21]. to have their say before making a decision rather than relying
on one person. Here is how it works: The random forest creates
many different decision trees, all of which are slightly different
because each uses different parts of the data. When it is time
to make a prediction, all the trees in the ”forest” vote, and the
most common result is given as the final answer. This works
well because aggregating the outputs of many trees gives a
more accurate and less likely wrong prediction than using
a decision tree. Random forests particularly work well with
complex data and are applicable to both number predictions
(regression) and category predictions (classification) [22].
B. Decision Trees
A decision tree is very easy to apply to data, looking vaguely
like a tree. Each part—or branch—of the tree represents a
decision or question about the data, and so each answer keeps
leading to another question or decision until you reach the
final result—a ”leaf” at the end of a branch. Imagine what it
must be like to be in that position—you’re trying to decide
whether to venture out. The first question probably will be,
”Does it shine?” If the answer is yes, then the next question
probably will be, ”Does it shine too hot?” If no, you probably Fig.4 Random Forests [22]
go out to play outside. If any answer is different, then you
go along a different path of questions until you come to D. Support Vector Machines
that final question. Decision trees help you make choices A support vector machine is a way in which the computer
by breaking down a complex problem into smaller, more separates data into two categories. So, you are given dots on
manageable questions [21]. a piece of paper, but some are red and the rest are blue.
A support vector machine is going to try and find the best
possible straight line (or boundary) that could separate the red
dots and the blue dots so each of the dots is on opposite sides
of it. Therefore, it becomes the object that the boundary must
be drawn far enough away from the dots of both colors. It
does make sure that even if you will draw up new dots, the
strength and reliability of the boundary are ensured for such
drawings. The SVM works well for more complex situations
than just dots on a piece of paper, but perhaps the data is larger
or in more dimensions or more difficult to separate. For this
kind of situation, an SVM applies special mathematical tricks
for delimiting boundaries in such a way that still works when
deciding between different groups [23], [24].
