Do you often wonder which machine learning algorithm to use? There are a number factors to consider including:
- The size, quality, and nature of data.
- The available computational time.
- The urgency of the task.
- What you want to do with the data.
Dr. Hui Li, Principal Staff Scientist of Data Science Technologies at SAS, offers some guidance on which algorithms to try first in the blog post, Which machine learning algorithm should I use?
Give it a read, bookmark and refer to it often.
Here's a helpful flow chart that shows which algorithms to use when:
