Models

AbstractThis chapter presents a unique overview and a comprehensive explanation of Machine Learning (ML) and Deep Learning (DL) methods. Frequently used ML and DL methods; their hyperparameter configurations; and their features such as types, their sensitivity, and robustness, as well as heuristics for their determination, constraints, and possible interactions are presented. In particular, we cover the following methods: $$k$$ k -Nearest Neighbor (KNN), Elastic Net (EN), Decision Tree (DT), Random Forest (RF), Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and DL. This chapter in itself might serve as a stand-alone handbook already. It contains years of experience in transferring theoretical knowledge into a practical guide.
