Welcome to the Iris Classification Project! This project demonstrates the application of machine learning algorithms to classify Iris flowers into three species based on their physical characteristics. πΌ
The Iris dataset is a classic dataset in the field of machine learning and statistics. It consists of 150 samples, each with four features:
- Sepal length (cm)
- Sepal width (cm)
- Petal length (cm)
- Petal width (cm)
Each sample is classified into one of three species:
- Setosa
- Versicolor
- Virginica
Make sure you have the following packages installed:
Python 3.xscikit-learnpandasnumpymatplotlibseaborn
You can install these dependencies using pip:
pip install scikit-learn pandas numpy matplotlib seabornVisualizing the data helps in understanding the distribution and relationships between different features. Here's an example of a pair plot:
- Load the Dataset: The Iris dataset can be loaded directly from scikit-learn.
- Preprocess the Data: Encode categorical variables if necessary.
- Split the Data: Divide the dataset into training and testing sets.
- Train Models: Use different classifiers like Decision Tree, SVM, and KNN.
- Evaluate Models: Measure the performance of each model using metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score.
- Visualize Results: Plot confusion matrices and decision boundaries.
The performance of each classifier is evaluated and compared. Typically, models are assessed using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score. The results are visualized using confusion matrices and other plots.
Make sure to replace `pair_plot.png` with the filename of your actual visualization image.
