We will first do a simple linear regression, then move to the Support Vector Regression so that you can see how the two behave with the same data. I just put some data in excel. I prefer that over using an existing well-known data-set because the purpose of the article is not about the data, but more about the models we will use. As you can see there seems to be some kind of relation between our two variables X and Y, and it look like we could fit a line which would pass near each point. Here is the same data in CSV format , I saved it in a file regression.

Summary: The e package contains the naiveBayes function. It allows numeric and factor variables to be used in the naive bayes model. Laplace smoothing allows unrepresented classes to show up. Predictions can be made for the most likely class or for a matrix of all possible classes. Data Being Used : Simulated data for response to an email campaign.

Includes binary purchase history, email open history, sales in past 12 months, and a response variable to the current email. Before you start building a Naive Bayes Classifier, check that you know how a naive bayes classifier works.

The function naiveBayes is a simple, elegant implementation of the naive bayes algorithm. There are really only a handful of parameters you should consider. The only parameters we have reason to change in this instance is the laplace smoothing value. The naiveBayes function includes the Laplace parameter. Whatever positive integer this is set to will be added into for every class.

We can see that the conditional probabilities for the two models are now different. The bigger the laplace smoothing value, the more you are making the models the same. The naiveBayes function takes in numeric or factor variables in a data frame or a numeric matrix.

The tables attribute stores the conditional probabilities for each factor attribute and class combination. We can easily calculate these same tables using table and prop. You can see how much cleaner it is to use the naiveBayes results rather than calculating the tables by hand. Imagine having tens of factors. These mean and standard deviation calculations provide the normal distribution for each class.

After creating the naive Bayes model object, you can use the universal predict function to create a prediction. The predict function allows you to specify whether you want the most probable class or if you want to get the probability for every class.

If you have any class with only one instance, the naiveBayes model will still train and predicting the most likely class will also work. Per this StackOverflow post , you will need to duplicate your data. The duplication of every row keeps the proportions the same but allows the raw prediction method to work. Training a Naive Bayes Classifier Before you start building a Naive Bayes Classifier, check that you know how a naive bayes classifier works. Factor variables and Character variables are accepted.

Character variables are coerced into Factors. Numeric variables will be placed on a normal distribution. Then the numeric variable will be converted into a probability on that distribution.

Now on to the interesting stuff! Median Mean 3rd Qu. Predicting with Naive Bayes Classifier After creating the naive Bayes model object, you can use the universal predict function to create a prediction. Data Used set.


SVM example with Iris Data in R

In machine learning, support vector machines are supervised learning models with associated learning algorithms that analyze data used for classification and regression analysis. However, they are mostly used in classification problems. In this tutorial, we will try to gain a high-level understanding of how SVMs work and then implement them using R. What that essentially means is we will skip as much of the math as possible and develop a strong intuition of the working principle. The basics of Support Vector Machines and how it works are best understood with a simple example.
