🎉 You’re doing great! This concept might seem tricky at first, but you’ve got this! Linear Regression - Made Simple!

Linear Regression is a fundamental algorithm with a time complexity of O(nd), where n is the number of samples and d is the number of features. This efficiency makes it suitable for large datasets with many features.

Let me walk you through this step by step! Here’s how we can tackle this:

import numpy as np
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression
import time

# Generate sample data
n, d = 10000, 100
X = np.random.rand(n, d)
y = np.random.rand(n)

# Measure time for fitting
start_time = time.time()
model = LinearRegression().fit(X, y)
end_time = time.time()

print(f"Time taken for {n} samples and {d} features: {end_time - start_time:.4f} seconds")

🚀

✨ Cool fact: Many professional data scientists use this exact approach in their daily work! Logistic Regression - Made Simple!

Logistic Regression, despite its name, is used for classification tasks. Its time complexity is also O(nd), making it efficient for binary and multiclass classification problems with large datasets.

Let me walk you through this step by step! Here’s how we can tackle this:

from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression
import numpy as np
import time

# Generate sample data
n, d = 10000, 100
X = np.random.rand(n, d)
y = np.random.randint(0, 2, n)

# Measure time for fitting
start_time = time.time()
model = LogisticRegression().fit(X, y)
end_time = time.time()

print(f"Time taken for {n} samples and {d} features: {end_time - start_time:.4f} seconds")

🚀

🔥 Level up: Once you master this, you’ll be solving problems like a pro! Decision Trees - Made Simple!

Decision Trees have a time complexity of O(nd log n) for training. This makes them relatively efficient for medium-sized datasets but may become slower for very large datasets.

Let’s break this down together! Here’s how we can tackle this:

from sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeClassifier
import numpy as np
import time

# Generate sample data
n, d = 10000, 100

import numpy as np
import time

# Generate sample data
n, d = 10000, 100

y = np.random.randint(0, 2, n)

# Measure time for fitting
start_time = time.time()
model = SVC().fit(X, y)

import numpy as np
import time

# Generate sample data
n, d = 10000, 100

# Measure time for fitting and predicting
start_time = time.time()
model = KNeighborsClassifier().fit(X, y)

end_time = time.time()

print(f"Time taken for fitting and predicting: {end_time - start_time:.4f} seconds")

from sklearn.cluster import KMeans
import numpy as np
import time

# Generate sample data
n, d = 10000, 100
X = np.random.rand(n, d)

# Measure time for fitting
start_time = time.time()
model = KMeans(n_clusters=5).fit(X)
end_time = time.time()

print(f"Time taken for {n} samples and {d} features: {end_time - start_time:.4f} seconds")

🚀 Principal Component Analysis (PCA) - Made Simple!

PCA has a time complexity of O(d^3) where d is the number of dimensions. This cubic relationship with dimensions makes PCA potentially slow for high-dimensional data.

Let’s break this down together! Here’s how we can tackle this:

from sklearn.decomposition import PCA
import numpy as np
import time

# Generate sample data
n, d = 10000, 100

from sklearn.neural_network import MLPClassifier
import numpy as np
import time

# Generate sample data
n, d = 10000, 100

y = np.random.randint(0, 2, n)

# Measure time for fitting
start_time = time.time()
model = MLPClassifier(hidden_layer_sizes=(100, 50), max_iter=100).fit(X, y)
end_time = time.time()

print(f"Time taken for {n} samples and {d} features: {end_time - start_time:.4f} seconds")

X = np.random.rand(n, width * height)
y = np.random.randint(0, 10, n)

# SVM
start_time = time.time()
svm = SVC().fit(X[:1000], y[:1000])  # Using subset due to SVM's complexity
svm_time = time.time() - start_time

start_time = time.time()
rf = RandomForestClassifier().fit(X, y)
rf_time = time.time() - start_time

🚀 Choosing the Right Algorithm - Made Simple!

When selecting an ML algorithm, consider:

1. Dataset size: Large datasets may require algorithms with lower time complexity.
2. Feature dimensionality: High-dimensional data can slow down certain algorithms.

def complexity(n, d, algorithm):
    if algorithm == 'Linear':
        return n * d
    elif algorithm == 'Quadratic':
        return n**2 * d
    elif algorithm == 'Log-linear':
        return n * np.log(n) * d
