What is Azure Machine Learning?

Azure Machine Learning is a cloud service for accelerating and managing the machine learning project
lifecycle.
Features:
• Collaborate with your team via shared notebooks, compute resources, data, and environments
• Develop models for fairness and explainability, tracking and auditability to fulfill lineage and audit
compliance requirements
• Deploy ML models quickly and easily at scale, and manage and govern them efficiently with MLOps.
• Run machine learning workloads anywhere with built-in governance, security, and compliance.

Benefits of Azure Machine Learning

• Azure Machine Learning is very user-friendly and comes with a set of tools that are less restrictive.
• Azure tool has a lot of data and algorithms and gives more accurate predictions.
• The tool makes it easy to import training data and fine tune the results.
• Data model can be published as a web service.
• It offers drag-and-drop features, and you can connect structures to create experiments.

Supervised learning
Supervised learning is the machine learning task of learning a function that maps an input to an
output based on example input-output pairs.

Unsupervised learning
Unsupervised learning is a type of machine learning
algorithms used to draw inferences from database
consisting of input data without labelled responses

Azure Machine Learning for Predictive Analytics

Semi-Supervised Learning
• Combination of labeled and unlabeled data.
• Typically, this combination will contain a very small
amount of labeled data and a very large amount of
unlabeled data
• The basic procedure involved is that
▪ First, the programmer will cluster similar data
using an unsupervised learning algorithm
▪ Use the existing labeled data to label the rest of
the unlabeled data.

Reinforcement Learning
Often predictive modelling means machine learning
or statistical modelling
• If you want to answer a yes/no question, this
is classification.
• For manholes, will the manhole explode next year? Y/N
• If you want to predict a numerical value, this is regression.
• Ex: Stock prediction at BSE Sensex tomorrow ?
• Note: There are many other machine learning problems.

Regression Analysis
It is a statistical method that helps us to analyse and understand the relationship between two or more
variables of interest.

• This is the variable • These are the factors

Dependent Variable

Independent Variable
that we are trying that influence the
to forecast. analysis and provide
us with information
regarding the
relationship of the
variables with the
target variable.

How do we determine the best fit line

The line for which the error between the predicted values and the observed values is minimum is called
the best fit line

Linear Regression
• Linear Regression is a predictive model used for finding the linear relationship between a dependent
variable and one or more independent variables

Y = m X + b,

• Y = dependent variable,
• X = independent variable​
• m = slope (or Gradient),
• b = Y-intercept

Logistic Regression
• Logistic regression is one of the most popular Machine Learning algorithms, which comes under the
Supervised Learning technique.
• It is used for predicting the categorical dependent variable using a given set of independent variables
• The outcome can be either Yes or No, 0 or 1, true or False, etc. but instead of giving the exact value as
0 and 1, it gives the probabilistic values which lie between 0 and 1

Types of Logistic Regression

• Binomial: In binomial Logistic regression, there can be only two possible types of the dependent
variables, such as 0 or 1, Pass or Fail, etc.
• Multinomial: In multinomial Logistic regression, there can be 3 or more possible unordered types of the
dependent variable, such as "cat", "dogs", or "sheep"
• Ordinal: In ordinal Logistic regression, there can be 3 or more possible ordered types of dependent
variables, such as "low", "Medium", or "High".
