Traditional Supervised Learning Algorithms

In this chapter, we will focus on supervised machine learning algorithms, which are one of the most important types of modern algorithms. The distinguishing characteristic of a supervised machine learning algorithm is the use of labeled data to train a model. In this book, supervised machine learning algorithms are divided into two chapters. In this chapter, we will present all the traditional supervised machine learning algorithms, excluding neural networks. The next chapter is all about implementing supervised machine learning algorithms using neural networks. The truth is that with so much ongoing development in this field, neural networks are a comprehensive topic that deserves a separate chapter in this book. 

So, this chapter is the first of two parts about supervised machine learning algorithms. First, we will introduce the...
