In this notebook, we will see all the basic classification algorithms that I learnt and in the end we will see a comparative study of all of them:
We will use the following algorithms:
- Linear Regression
- KNN
- Decision Trees
- Logistic Regression
- SVM
We will evaluate our models using:
- Accuracy Score
- Jaccard Index
- F1-Score
- LogLoss
- Mean Absolute Error
- Mean Squared Error
- R2-Score
The original source of the data is Australian Government's Bureau of Meteorology and the latest data can be gathered from http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/dwo/.
The dataset to be used has extra columns like 'RainToday' and our target is 'RainTomorrow', which was gathered from the Rattle at https://bitbucket.org/kayontoga/rattle/src/master/data/weatherAUS.RData
This dataset contains observations of weather metrics for each day from 2008 to 2017. The weatherAUS.csv dataset includes the following fields:
| Field | Description | Unit | Type |

| Location | Location of the Observation | Location | object |
| MinTemp | Minimum temperature | Celsius | float |
| MaxTemp | Maximum temperature | Celsius | float |
| Rainfall | Amount of rainfall | Millimeters | float |
| Evaporation | Amount of evaporation | Millimeters | float |
| Sunshine | Amount of bright sunshine | hours | float |
| WindGustDir | Direction of the strongest gust | Compass Points | object |
| WindGustSpeed | Speed of the strongest gust | Kilometers/Hour | object |
| WindDir9am | Wind direction averaged of 10 minutes prior to 9am | Compass Points | object |
| WindDir3pm | Wind direction averaged of 10 minutes prior to 3pm | Compass Points | object |
| WindSpeed9am | Wind speed averaged of 10 minutes prior to 9am | Kilometers/Hour | float |
| WindSpeed3pm | Wind speed averaged of 10 minutes prior to 3pm | Kilometers/Hour | float |
| Humidity9am | Humidity at 9am | Percent | float |
| Humidity3pm | Humidity at 3pm | Percent | float |

| Cloud3pm | Fraction of the sky obscured by cloud at 3pm | Eights | float |
| Temp9am | Temperature at 9am | Celsius | float |
| Temp3pm | Temperature at 3pm | Celsius | float |
| RainToday | If there was rain today | Yes/No | object |
| RainTomorrow | If there is rain tomorrow | Yes/No | float |
