| Definition | Statistical analysis to predict a binary outcome based on prior observations of a data set. Model predicts a dependent data variable by analyzing the relationship between 1 or more independent variables | Shrinkage and variable selection method for linear regression models. Goal to obtain the subset of predictors that minimized prediction error for a quantitative response variable | Machine learning technique for regression and classification problems, which produces a prediction model in the form of an ensemble of weak prediction models, typically decision trees. It builds the model in a stage-wise fashion like other boosting methods do, and it generalizes them by allowing optimization of an arbitrary differentiable loss function. | Series of algorithms that endeavors to recognize underlying relationships in a set of data through a process that mimics the way the human brain operates | Neural network that consists of multiple layers of interconnected nodes, each building upon a previous layer to refine and optimize the prediction or categorization | Supervised machine learning algorithm, as it builds decision trees on different samples and takes their majority vote for classification and average in case of regression |
