Auto-Regressive Integrated MA
An ARIMA, or Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average, is a powerful statistical model designed to analyze time series data. It serves two main purposes: gaining a deeper understanding of the data set and making accurate predictions about future trends. The autoregressive nature of the model means it forecasts future values by relying on past data. For …

Evolutionary Algorithms
During the last two decades, there has been a growing interest in algorithms that are based on the principle of evolution (survival of the fittest). A common term, accepted recently, refers to such techniques as evolutionary algorithms (EA) (or evolutionary computation methods). Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) are optimization techniques modeled after the processes of natural evolution …

Support Vector Machines
Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are a robust class of supervised machine learning algorithms that are widely utilized for both classification and regression tasks. Their strength lies in their capability to handle high-dimensional data efficiently, making them particularly effective at finding the optimal boundary, or hyperplane, that separates different classes within the dataset. This optimal hyperplane …

Autoencoders
An autoencoder is an unsupervised artificial neural network designed to learn efficient data compression and encoding techniques. It first compresses and encodes the data into a lower-dimensional representation and then reconstructs the data from this compressed form, striving to make the reconstructed data as close to the original input as possible. The network achieves this …

Self-Organizing Maps
A self-organizing map (SOM) or self-organizing feature map (SOFM) is an unsupervised machine learning technique used to create a low-dimensional (typically two-dimensional) representation of a higher-dimensional dataset while preserving the topological structure of the data. For example, a dataset with multiple variables measured across numerous observations can be represented as clusters of observations with similar …

Dimensionality Reduction
Dimensionality reduction is a technique used to represent a dataset with fewer features (i.e., dimensions) while retaining its essential properties (Den, 2022). This process involves removing irrelevant, redundant, or noisy data to create a more concise model with fewer variables. Dimensionality reduction covers various feature selection and data compression methods employed during preprocessing. Despite differing …

Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN)
A Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) is a type of artificial neural network where the output of certain layers is stored and fed back into the input. This mechanism helps in predicting sequential data by using past information to inform future predictions. Initially, the first layer processes data similarly to a feedforward network, using the product …

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN)
Convolutional Neural Network (CNN/ConvNet) is a class of deep neural networks designed to automatically and adaptively learn spatial hierarchies of features from input data. This capability is achieved through the unique architecture and mechanisms of CNNs, which enable them to detect and recognize complex patterns and structures in the input data, (particularly images) while reducing …

Gradient Boosting Machines
Gradient Boosting Machines (GBMs) are a highly effective ensemble learning technique used for both regression and classification tasks. As part of the boosting algorithm family, GBMs transform weak learners into strong predictors, significantly enhancing the accuracy of predictions. Developed by Jerome H. Friedman, GBMs are renowned for their precision and ability to handle a variety …
