Q.1 Stacking is a meta-learner, it learns in two steps. The first model learns from the input data, and the second model learns from the predictions of model-I. Steps:
Design a classification model using stacking based learning on the below given data. Use 5-cross validation for reporting the performance of the model.
Apply different available Machine Learning based classifiers (such as Decision Tree, KNN, Random Forest, MLP, SVM) on the given dataset, change the categorical data to numerical(wherever needed).
Save the learnt ML models.
Load the saved models, and save their predictions.
Use these predictions to do the final classification using Different ML classifiers.
Report the performance(Precision, Recall, f-measure, Accuracy) of different ML classifiers for step-1 and step-2.
Q2. In case of Boosting ensemble learning algorithm, in each iteration, a new model is created and the base model is being updated from the errors of the previous models.
Task 2.1 : Design Decision tree algorithm and report its Precision, Recall and F-measure.
Task 2.2 : Design Boosting based ensemble model and report its Precision, Recall and F-measure. Task 2.3 : Give a comparative study between the above two tasks, i.e., plot a graph which will indicate the performance between the above two tasks.
