Comparison of common machine learning methods.

ModelAdvantagesDisadvantages

Logistic regression1. Simple calculation and fast speedThe performance is poor when faced with the multivariate or nonlinear decision boundary
2. Avoid overfitting through regularization

Naive BayesPerform well on small-scale dataVery sensitive to the expression of input data
Decision tree1. Able to apply to samples with missing attribute valuesEasy to overfit
2. Strong robustness to outliers

Artificial neural networksPerform well on nonlinear data1. Long training time
2. The computational complexity is proportional to the network complexity

Support vector regression1. Strong generalization abilitySensitive to the selection of parameters and kernel function
2. Can apply to high-dimensional nonlinear data
3. Low computational complexity
