Classification in R
Classification in R
Experiment:3.1
Description: The experiment involves using R programming to implement a classification algorithm for
business intelligence purposes. Participants will learn how to preprocess data, train a classification
model, evaluate its performance, and use it for predicting future outcomes.
Steps:
a. Select an appropriate classification algorithm, such as Decision Trees, Naive Bayes, or Random
Forests.
b. Use the training set to train the classification model.
c. Configure and fine-tune the algorithm's parameters to optimize performance.
4.Evaluate Model Performance:
b. Calculate evaluation metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score to assess the model's
performance.
c. Use visualizations like confusion matrices and ROC curves to analyze the model's predictive power.
5.Make Predictions:
a. Use the trained classification model to make predictions on new, unseen data.
b. Apply the preprocessing steps performed earlier on the new data.
c. Generate predictions and interpret the results.
Outcome:
Step 1: Data Preparation
> # Load the Iris dataset
