Module 3: Linear and tree-based baselines

Module 3: Linear and tree-based baselines#

AINS6002 — Machine Learning & Predictive Modeling

Essential Question#

Why do strong baselines matter before complex models?

Core Moves#

  • Define the problem boundary

  • Identify evidence and assumptions

  • Build or evaluate the artifact

  • Communicate limits and next actions

Lab & Assignment#

Compare logistic regression or linear regression with a tree model.

Use the assignment notebook to turn lab evidence into a defensible recommendation.
