Best Machine Learning Algorithms for Classification:
Naive
Bayes
 Classifier
Simple, easy and fast
Not sensitive to irrelevant features
Works great in practice
Needs less training data
For both multi-class and binary
classification
Works with continuous and discrete
data 
Accepts every feature
is independent. This isn’t
always the truth.
Decision
Trees
Easy to understand
Easy to generate rules
There are almost null hyper-
parameters to be tuned
Complex Decision Tree models can be
significantly simplified by its
visualizations
Might suffer from overfitting
Does not easily work with non-
numerical data
Low prediction accuracy for a
dataset in comparison with other
algorithms
When there are many class labels,
calculations can be complex
PROS
Fast algorithm
Effective in high dimensional spaces
Great accuracy
Power and flexibility from kernels
Works very well with a clear margin
of separation
Many applications
CONS
Doesn’t perform well with large
data sets
Not so simple to program
Doesn’t perform so well, when the
data comes with more noise i.e.
target classes are overlapping
Support
Vector
Machines 
PROS
The overfitting problem does not exist
Can be used for feature engineering
i.e. for identifying the most important
features among the all available
features in the training dataset
Runs very well on large databases
Extremely flexible and have very high
accuracy
No need for preparation of the input
data
CONS
Complexity
Requires a lot of computational
resources
Time-consuming 
Need to choose the number of
trees
Random
Forest
Classifier
PROS
Simple to understand and easy to
implement
Zero to little training time
Works easily with multiclass data
sets
Has good predictive power
Does well in practice
CONS
Computationally expensive testing
phase
Can have skewed class
distributions
The accuracy can be decreased
when it comes to high-dimension
data
Needs to define a value for the
parameter k
KNN
