Implementing Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm in python

As you have probably noticed by now, there are several machine learning algorithms available at your disposal. In my previous post, I covered a very popular classification algorithm called K-Nearest Neighbors. In today’s post, I will cover another very common and powerful classification algorithm called Support Vector Machine (SVM). What is SVM and how does …

Implementing k-nearest neighbors in python

Last time, we looked into one of the simplest classification algorithms in machine learning called binomial logistic regression. In this post, I am going to cover another common classification algorithm called K Nearest Neighbors, otherwise known as KNN. To recap, we have mostly discussed regression models such as simple and multivariate linear regression and polynomial …

Parsing command line arguments in python

Python is a very popular language for many reasons and one of them is the ability to use it for quick scripting or for an enterprise application. Professionally, I have used python for writing many scripts; some that are quick and temporary, and others that are more complex and long-term. Whatever the purpose of the …
