Comparative Analysis of Supervised Learning Algorithms
Abstract: Supervised learning is a fundamental and widely used branch of machine learning in which models are trained on labeled datasets, meaning that each input is associated with a known output. Supervised learning algorithms develop predictive capability by understanding the mapping between input variables and corresponding output labels, enabling them to accurately forecast outcomes for previously unseen data. Due to this capability, supervised learning has found extensive applications across diverse domains …
