Abstract

Most of this book concerns supervised learning methods such as regression and classification. In the supervised learning setting, we typically have access to a set of p features \( X_{1}, X_{2}, \ldots, X_{p},\) measured on n observations, and a response Y also measured on those same n observations. The goal is then to predict Y using \( X_{1}, X_{2}, \ldots, X_{p}.\)
