Understanding Data Topics

While training a Decision Tree, change the minimum count of observations for what constitutes a branch.

Write a script to try 3 different values of three different hyperparameters of your SVM, and keep the configuration that yields the best results.

On a dataset of running sessions to assess a treadmill's longevity, with duration, speed, inclination, remove the column "calories_burned".

Run an analysis to identify the four main features that give the best predictions, and get rid of the others.

Use the most common prediction from an SVM, a K-Means and a Decision Tree model to assign a category to an observation.

Use the average prediction from a Linear Regression, a K-Means and a Decision Tree model to assign a category to an observation.
