Classification Modeling is a type of Machine Learning algorithm that is used to predict the categorical class labels of new data points based on historical data with known class labels. It is a supervised learning technique and is commonly used in a wide range of applications such as image recognition, fraud detection, spam filtering, and sentiment analysis.
In a classification model, the algorithm learns to classify data points based on their features, which are characteristics or attributes of the data points that are used to predict the class labels. The algorithm learns to distinguish between the different classes by finding patterns in the training data, and then uses these patterns to predict the class labels of new data points.
Some common algorithms used in classification modeling include Decision Trees, Random Forest, Support Vector Machines (SVMs), and Neural Networks. These algorithms can be used to solve different types of classification problems depending on the nature of the data and the desired output.
