A very simple machine learning example (using the Iris dataset)
Evaluated which algorithm to use among:
Logistic Regression (LR) Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN). Classification and Regression Trees (CART). Gaussian Naive Bayes (NB). Support Vector Machines (SVM).
Utilized KNN.
