   3. METHODOLOGY

      1. Linear regression:Modeling the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables is a fundamental statistical technique used in statistics and machine learning. It computes coefficients that minimize the difference between anticipated and actual values under the assumption that variables have a linear relationship. For activities like forecasting stock prices, examining economic trends, and figuring out how factors affect results in diverse disciplines, linear regression is frequently used.

      2. K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN):It is a straightforward but efficient machine learning technique used for regression and classification tasks. Based on the majority class or average of its k nearest neighbors in the feature space, it assigns labels or forecasts values. KNN is adaptable for a variety of applications, including recommendation systems and pattern recognition, as it uses distance metrics like Euclidean distance and is non- parametric in nature.

      3. Random Forest (RF)It is an effective ensemble learning algorithm that is frequently employed in machine learning. To increase accuracy and lessen overfitting, it builds numerous decision trees during training and combines their predictions. The selection of features and data points is randomized by RF, which makes it robust and appropriate for classification and regression problems. It excels in a variety of fields, including image identification, finance, and healthcare.

      4. Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs): They are neural network designs created for the processing of sequential data. They are useful for tasks like time series prediction and natural language interpretation because they maintain a hidden state that allows them to recognize relationships and patterns in sequences. RNNs can, however, experience vanishing gradient problems, which are frequently resolved by cutting-edge variations like LSTMs and GRUs.

      5. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM):It is a kind of recurrent neural network (RNN) architecture that excels at detecting and keeping track of distant dependencies in sequential data. For applications like natural language processing, speech identification, and time series forecasting, LSTMs are extremely effective because they use specific memory cells and gating methods to govern input flow.

      6. Gradient Boosting:This method of ensemble machine learning combines the skills of weak learners to

         create a strong prediction model by building models successively. By basing upcoming models' adjustments on the mistakes of earlier ones, it reduces inaccuracies. Widely utilized in tasks like classification, regression, and ranking, gradient boosting is well known for its remarkable predictive performance and adaptability. It is frequently implemented using algorithms like XGBoost, AdaBoost, and Gradient Boosted Trees.

      7. XGBoost:Extreme Gradient Boosting, for which it is short, is a high-performance, scalable machine learning technique renowned for its astounding speed and accuracy. It minimizes overfitting by combining

      gradient boosting with tree-based models and applying regularization techniques. Many data-driven applications, including classification, regression, and ranking tasks, employ XGBoost extensively. Because of its effectiveness and efficiency in processing structured data, XGBoost has won multiple machine learning contests.
