Case Study: Classification Algorithms

Classification algorithms are a subset of machine learning algorithms used


to identify the category to which a new observation belongs based on a
training set of data containing observations whose category membership
is known. MATLAB offers robust functions and toolboxes for implementing
various classification algorithms, including Logistic Regression, Support
Vector Machines (SVM), Decision Trees, Random Forests, and Neural
Networks. Below is an overview of how to implement some of these
classification algorithms in MATLAB:

1. Logistic Regression

Logistic regression is used for binary classification problems. It predicts


the probability that a given observation belongs to one of the two
categories.

% Load dataset

load fisheriris

% The dataset contains measurements of 150 iris flowers, along with a


species label

% Prepare data

X = meas; % feature matrix

Y = species; % target vector

% Create a logistic regression model

mdl = fitglm(X, Y, 'Distribution','binomial');

% Predict new data

newX = [5.9, 3, 5.1, 1.8]; % new observation

label = predict(mdl, newX);

2. Support Vector Machine (SVM)

SVMs are powerful for both linear and non-linear classification problems.
They work by finding the hyperplane that best separates the classes in the
feature space.

% Load dataset
load fisheriris

% Prepare data

X = meas;

Y = species;

% Train the SVM model

SVMModel = fitcsvm(X, Y);

% Predict new data

newX = [5.9, 3, 5.1, 1.8]; % new observation

predictedLabel = predict(SVMModel, newX);

3. Decision Trees

Decision trees are a non-linear model used for classification and


regression. They split the data into subsets based on the value of input
features, which forms a tree-like structure.

% Load dataset

load fisheriris

% Prepare data

X = meas;

Y = species;

% Train the decision tree model

tree = fitctree(X, Y);

% Predict new data

newX = [5.9, 3, 5.1, 1.8]; % new observation

predictedLabel = predict(tree, newX);

4. Neural Networks
Neural networks are a set of algorithms, modeled loosely after the human
brain, that are designed to recognize patterns. They interpret sensory
data through a kind of machine perception, labeling, or raw input.

% For Neural Networks, MATLAB's Deep Learning Toolbox provides


comprehensive support

% Here's a simple example using a feedforward network for classification

% Load dataset

load fisheriris

X = meas';

Y = species';

% Convert the targets to categorical

Y = grp2idx(Y); % Convert labels to numeric

Y = full(ind2vec(Y')); % Convert to binary matrix

% Create and train the neural network

net = patternnet(10); % A simple network with 10 hidden neurons

net = train(net, X, Y);

% Predict new data

newX = [5.9, 3, 5.1, 1.8]';

predicted = net(newX);

predictedLabel = vec2ind(predicted);
