 EXPERIMENT 1: Linear Regression – House Price Prediction

AIM: Implement Linear Regression to predict California housing prices and evaluate model
performance.

OBJECTIVE: Understand supervised regression, apply feature scaling, compute MSE/RMSE/R², and
visualize predictions.

SOFTWARE REQUIRED

• Python 3.10+

• NumPy

• Pandas

• Scikit-learn

• Matplotlib

THEORY

Linear Regression models a continuous output as a weighted linear combination of input features: y
= β₀ + β₁x₁ + ... + βₙxₙ + ε. Coefficients are optimised by minimising the Mean Squared Error (MSE)
using Ordinary Least Squares (OLS). Key metrics are RMSE (lower is better) and R² (1 = perfect fit).
StandardScaler normalises features so no single variable dominates gradient descent.

The California Housing dataset contains 20,640 census block records with 8 socio-economic features.
Target: median house value in units of $100,000. Industry domain: Real Estate / Urban Planning.

 EXPERIMENT 2: Logistic Regression – Breast Cancer Detection

AIM: Apply Logistic Regression to classify breast tumours as malignant or benign.

OBJECTIVE: Understand binary classification, sigmoid function, and evaluate using accuracy, AUC-
ROC, precision-recall.

SOFTWARE REQUIRED

• Python 3.10+

• Scikit-learn

• Pandas

• Seaborn

• Matplotlib

THEORY

Logistic Regression models the probability P(y=1|x) = σ(wᵀx+b) where σ is the sigmoid function. The
model is trained by minimising binary cross-entropy loss. Unlike linear regression, the output is
bounded [0,1] and a threshold (default 0.5) converts probability to class label.

Evaluation: Accuracy (overall correctness), Precision (TP/(TP+FP)), Recall (TP/(TP+FN)), F1-score

(harmonic mean of P and R), and AUC-ROC (area under the ROC curve — measures rank
separability). Domain: Healthcare / Medical Diagnostics.

 EXPERIMENT 3: Decision Tree – Customer Churn Prediction

AIM: Build a Decision Tree classifier to predict telecom customer churn.

OBJECTIVE: Understand Gini impurity / information gain, visualise tree structure, analyse feature
importance.

SOFTWARE REQUIRED

• Python 3.10+

• Scikit-learn

• Pandas

• NumPy

• Seaborn

• Matplotlib

THEORY

A Decision Tree recursively partitions the feature space by selecting splits that maximise information
gain (or minimise Gini impurity). Gini(t) = 1 − Σpᵢ². At each node the algorithm selects the feature and
threshold that produce the purest child nodes. max_depth and min_samples_split control overfitting.

Feature importance = normalised sum of weighted impurity reductions across all splits on a feature.
Decision trees are interpretable ("white-box") and handle both categorical and numeric features.
Domain: Telecommunications / CRM Analytics.

 EXPERIMENT 4: Random Forest – Credit Card Fraud Detection

AIM: Use Random Forest with SMOTE to detect fraudulent credit card transactions from an
imbalanced dataset.

OBJECTIVE: Understand ensemble bagging, handle class imbalance with SMOTE, optimise for recall
and precision-recall AUC.

SOFTWARE REQUIRED

• Python 3.10+

• Scikit-learn

• imbalanced-learn

• Pandas

• Matplotlib

• Seaborn

THEORY

Random Forest builds an ensemble of decision trees, each trained on a bootstrap sample with
random feature subsets. Final prediction uses majority voting (classification). This reduces variance
without increasing bias — overcoming the overfitting tendency of single trees.

Credit card fraud datasets are highly imbalanced (<1% fraud). SMOTE (Synthetic Minority
Oversampling Technique) generates synthetic fraud samples in feature space to balance classes.
Evaluation focuses on Recall (catching all fraud), Precision (avoiding false alarms), and PR-AUC
rather than accuracy. Domain: FinTech / Banking.

Simulated credit card transactions – 10,000 samples, 97% legitimate / 3% fraud, 10 numerical
transaction features. Industry proxy for the Kaggle Credit Card Fraud dataset.

ALGORITHM / PROCEDURE

plt.tight_layout(); [Link]('[Link]', dpi=120)
print("Experiment 4 complete.")

EXPECTED OUTPUT

ROC-AUC: ~0.98 | PR-AUC: ~0.91 | Fraud Recall: ~92%

SMOTE significantly improves fraud recall. Random Forest with 200 trees detects most fraud with
low false-positive rate.

 EXPERIMENT 5: Support Vector Machine – Digit Recognition

AIM: Train an SVM with RBF kernel to recognise handwritten digits using PCA-reduced features.

OBJECTIVE: Understand the kernel trick, margin maximisation, PCA for speed-up, and multi-class
SVM.

SOFTWARE REQUIRED

• Python 3.10+

• Scikit-learn

• NumPy

• Matplotlib

THEORY

SVM finds the hyperplane that maximises the margin between classes. For non-linearly separable
data, the kernel trick implicitly maps inputs to a higher-dimensional space: K(xᵢ,xⱼ) = φ(xᵢ)·φ(xⱼ). The
RBF kernel K(xᵢ,xⱼ)=exp(−γ||xᵢ−xⱼ||²) is effective for image data. Hyperparameters C (regularisation)
and γ (kernel width) are tuned via cross-validation.

PCA reduces the 64-dimensional pixel space to 40 principal components (retaining >96% variance),
dramatically reducing SVM training time. Multi-class SVM uses One-vs-One voting. Domain:
Computer Vision / Security / OCR.

 EXPERIMENT 6: K-Nearest Neighbours – Wine Quality Classification

AIM: Classify wine quality using KNN and analyse the effect of k on model accuracy.

OBJECTIVE: Implement distance-based classification, tune k via cross-validation, compare Euclidean

vs Manhattan distance.

SOFTWARE REQUIRED

• Python 3.10+

• Scikit-learn

• Pandas

• Matplotlib

• Seaborn

THEORY

KNN classifies a sample by majority vote among its k nearest neighbours in feature space, using
distance metrics such as Euclidean d(x,y)=√Σ(xᵢ−yᵢ)² or Manhattan d=Σ|xᵢ−yᵢ|. KNN is a lazy learner
(no explicit training phase) — the entire dataset is the model. Choosing k involves a bias-variance
trade-off: small k → high variance, large k → high bias.

Feature scaling is critical for KNN since unscaled features with larger ranges dominate distance
computations. Dimensionality is also a concern (curse of dimensionality). Domain: Food Science /
Quality Control / Beverage Industry.

DATASET

 EXPERIMENT 7: Naïve Bayes – SMS Spam Detection

AIM: Build a Multinomial Naïve Bayes spam classifier on SMS messages using TF-IDF features.

OBJECTIVE: Understand probabilistic classification, Bayes theorem, text vectorisation, and NLP
preprocessing.

SOFTWARE REQUIRED

• Python 3.10+

• Scikit-learn

• NLTK

• Pandas

• Matplotlib

• WordCloud

THEORY

Naïve Bayes applies Bayes theorem with the "naïve" conditional independence assumption:
P(y|x₁,...,xₙ) ∝ P(y)·Πᵢ P(xᵢ|y). For text classification, MultinomialNB uses word frequencies as
features. TF-IDF (Term Frequency – Inverse Document Frequency) weighting reduces the influence
of common words and amplifies discriminative terms.

NLP preprocessing pipeline: lowercase → remove punctuation → tokenise → remove stopwords →

stem/lemmatise. Despite the independence assumption, NB performs surprisingly well on text
classification and is computationally very fast. Domain: NLP / Cybersecurity / Email Filtering.

DATASET

SMS Spam Collection (UCI) simulated – 5,574 messages: 86.6% ham, 13.4% spam. Labels: "ham" /
"spam". Features: raw message text, transformed to TF-IDF vectors.

 EXPERIMENT 8: K-Means Clustering – Customer Segmentation

AIM: Segment retail customers into behavioural groups using K-Means clustering and the Elbow
method.

OBJECTIVE: Understand unsupervised learning, inertia, silhouette score, and business

interpretation of clusters.

SOFTWARE REQUIRED

• Python 3.10+

• Scikit-learn

• Pandas

• Matplotlib

• Seaborn

THEORY

K-Means iteratively assigns N samples to K clusters by minimising within-cluster sum of squares

(WCSS): WCSS = ΣᵢΣₓ∈Cᵢ ||x − μᵢ||². Algorithm: (1) initialise K centroids randomly (K-Means++ is
better), (2) assign each point to nearest centroid, (3) recompute centroids, repeat until convergence.

The Elbow method plots WCSS vs K and selects the K at the inflection point. The Silhouette score s(i)
= (b−a)/max(a,b) ∈ [−1,1] measures cohesion vs separation. RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary)
features are standard for retail segmentation. Domain: Retail / E-commerce / Marketing Analytics.

DATASET

 EXPERIMENT 9: DBSCAN – Anomaly Detection in IoT Sensor Data

AIM: Apply DBSCAN to detect anomalous patterns in IoT sensor time-series data.

OBJECTIVE: Understand density-based clustering, epsilon and min_samples parameters, and noise
point identification.

SOFTWARE REQUIRED

• Python 3.10+

• Scikit-learn

• NumPy

• Pandas

• Matplotlib

THEORY

DBSCAN (Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise) defines clusters as dense
regions separated by sparser areas. A point is a core point if it has ≥ min_samples neighbours within
radius ε. Points reachable from a core point are assigned to its cluster; unreachable points are
labelled −1 (noise/anomaly).

Unlike K-Means, DBSCAN (1) does not require specifying K, (2) detects arbitrary shapes, and (3)
naturally identifies outliers. Parameter selection: ε via k-distance graph (elbow at sorted distances),
min_samples ≥ 2×dimensions. Domain: IoT / Industrial / Predictive Maintenance.

DATASET

Synthetic IoT sensor readings – 1,000 timesteps of temperature and vibration signals. ~5%
anomalous spikes injected (sudden surges or drops).

ALGORITHM / PROCEDURE

EXPECTED OUTPUT

Injected anomalies: 50 | DBSCAN detected: ~55 | Detection rate: ~90%

DBSCAN effectively identifies temperature/vibration spikes. k-distance graph shows clear elbow at
ε≈0.5.

 EXPERIMENT 10: PCA & LDA – Dimensionality Reduction (Face
Recognition)

AIM: Compare PCA (unsupervised) and LDA (supervised) for dimensionality reduction on the
Olivetti Faces dataset.

OBJECTIVE: Understand variance maximisation (PCA) vs class-separability maximisation (LDA),

visualise eigenfaces.

SOFTWARE REQUIRED

• Python 3.10+

• Scikit-learn

• NumPy

• Matplotlib

THEORY

PCA finds orthogonal components that maximise explained variance. Covariance matrix C=XᵀX/n is
decomposed: eigenvectors form the principal directions. Top K eigenvectors (eigenfaces) capture
most information. LDA (Linear Discriminant Analysis) finds projections maximising between-class
scatter while minimising within-class scatter, making it supervised and directly optimised for
classification.

In face recognition, PCA reduces 4096-dim face images to ~50 eigenface components. LDA further
separates identities. Reconstruction MSE quantifies information loss. Domain: Biometrics / Security /
Healthcare Imaging.

DATASET

features per image.

ALGORITHM / PROCEDURE

Eigenfaces capture lighting/shape patterns. LDA improves identity separation over pure PCA.

RESULT

SOFTWARE REQUIRED

• Python 3.10+

• XGBoost

• SHAP

• Scikit-learn

• Pandas

• Matplotlib

THEORY

XGBoost (Extreme Gradient Boosting) is a regularised gradient boosting framework. It sequentially

fits decision trees to the residual errors of previous trees: F(x)=Σₖfₖ(x). The objective combines loss
(e.g., log-loss) and regularisation (L1/L2 on leaf weights) to prevent overfitting. Key
hyperparameters: n_estimators, max_depth, learning_rate (η), subsample, colsample_bytree.

SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) assigns each feature a contribution to a specific prediction
based on cooperative game theory. SHAP values enable auditable, fair AI — critical for HR decisions.
Domain: HR Analytics / People Analytics.

 EXPERIMENT 12: Ridge & Lasso Regression – Diabetes Progression

AIM: Apply L1 (Lasso) and L2 (Ridge) regularisation to predict diabetes progression and perform
feature selection.

OBJECTIVE: Understand regularisation, coefficient shrinkage, sparsity in Lasso, and ElasticNet

combination.

SOFTWARE REQUIRED

• Python 3.10+

• Scikit-learn

• Pandas

• Matplotlib

• NumPy

THEORY

Ridge Regression adds L2 penalty: J=MSE+λΣβᵢ². It shrinks coefficients towards zero but rarely
makes them exactly zero. Lasso adds L1 penalty: J=MSE+λΣ|βᵢ|, which can zero out coefficients
completely, performing automatic feature selection. ElasticNet combines both penalties.

λ (alpha) controls regularisation strength: large λ → more shrinkage → higher bias, lower variance.
Optimal α is found via cross-validation (RidgeCV/LassoCV). Domain: Healthcare / Epidemiology /
Pharmaceutical Research.

 EXPERIMENT 13: Hyperparameter Tuning – GridSearchCV &
RandomizedSearchCV

AIM: Systematically optimise hyperparameters of a Random Forest classifier using Grid and
Randomised search.

OBJECTIVE: Understand cross-validation, search strategies, learning curves, and avoid data leakage
during tuning.

SOFTWARE REQUIRED

• Python 3.10+

• Scikit-learn

• Pandas

• Matplotlib

• NumPy

THEORY

Hyperparameter tuning systematically explores the model configuration space. GridSearchCV

exhaustively evaluates all combinations of a predefined grid using K-fold cross-validation, returning
the combination with best mean CV score. RandomizedSearchCV samples n_iter random
combinations — faster for large grids, often finding near-optimal results with <20% of GridSearch
evaluations.

Learning curves plot train/validation score vs training size — revealing underfitting (both scores
low) or overfitting (large gap). Validation curves plot score vs a single hyperparameter. Domain:
General ML best practices; critical for production model deployment.

 EXPERIMENT 14: Time Series Forecasting – Stock Price Prediction
(ARIMA)

AIM: Forecast stock closing prices using ARIMA and compare with a simple LSTM baseline.

OBJECTIVE: Understand stationarity, ARIMA(p,d,q) parameter selection, ACF/PACF plots, and

forecasting evaluation.

SOFTWARE REQUIRED

• Python 3.10+

• statsmodels

• Pandas

• NumPy

• Matplotlib

• Scikit-learn

THEORY

ARIMA (AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average) models time series as: φ(B)(1−B)ᵈXₜ = θ(B)εₜ
where p=AR order, d=differencing for stationarity, q=MA order. Stationarity (constant
mean/variance) is tested with the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test. ACF plots identify q (MA lag),
PACF plots identify p (AR lag). AIC/BIC guide model order selection.

Evaluation uses MAE, RMSE, and MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error). For financial forecasting,
directional accuracy (whether predicted direction matches actual) is also important. Domain:
Finance / FinTech / Algorithmic Trading.

DATASET

Synthetic stock price series – 500 trading days with trend, seasonality, and noise. Mimics OHLCV data
from equity markets.

ALGORITHM / PROCEDURE

1. Generate synthetic stock price series

2. Test stationarity (ADF test)

3. Difference series if needed

 4. Plot ACF and PACF to select p and q

5. Fit ARIMA(p,d,q)

6. Forecast next 30 days

7. Compute MAE, RMSE, MAPE on test set

8. Plot actual vs predicted

9. Document model limitations

[Link](); plt.tight_layout(); [Link]('[Link]', dpi=120)
print("Experiment 14 complete.")

EXPECTED OUTPUT

ADF p-value: 0.62 (non-stationary) → differenced once (d=1)

ARIMA(2,1,2): MAE≈1.8 | RMSE≈2.3 | MAPE≈1.5%
Forecast captures short-term trend but diverges after ~10 days.

RESULT

ARIMA(2,1,2) achieved MAPE=1.5% on 30-day stock price forecasting. First differencing successfully
removed non-stationarity. The model is suitable for short-horizon forecasting.

• Q3. What does the d parameter in ARIMA represent?

• Q4. What are the limitations of ARIMA for stock price forecasting?

• Q5. How would you extend ARIMA to a multivariate model (VAR)?

 EXPERIMENT 15: Anomaly Detection – Network Intrusion (Isolation
Forest & One-Class SVM)

AIM: Detect network intrusion attacks using Isolation Forest and One-Class SVM on simulated
network traffic.

OBJECTIVE: Understand unsupervised anomaly detection, contamination parameter, and

comparison of two algorithms.

SOFTWARE REQUIRED

• Python 3.10+

• Scikit-learn

• Pandas

• NumPy

• Matplotlib

• Seaborn

THEORY

Isolation Forest isolates anomalies by randomly partitioning data; anomalies require fewer splits to
isolate, yielding shorter path lengths. Anomaly score = 2^(-avg_path/c(n)) where c(n) is the average
path for a random binary tree. Contamination=0.05 sets the threshold at the 5th percentile of scores.

One-Class SVM learns a decision boundary enclosing normal data in a high-dimensional kernel space;
points outside are anomalies. Isolation Forest scales better to large datasets (O(n log n)) while One-
Class SVM is more effective with lower-dimensional data. Domain: Cybersecurity / Network Security
/ SOC Operations.

DATASET

Simulated NSL-KDD-style network traffic – 5,000 connections: 95% normal, 5% attack (DoS, Probe,
R2L types). 15 numeric traffic features.

ALGORITHM / PROCEDURE

1. Generate network traffic dataset with injected attacks

2. Standardise features
 3. Fit IsolationForest(contamination=0.05)

4. Fit OneClassSVM(kernel=rbf, nu=0.05)

5. Predict anomaly labels (−1=attack)

6. Compute precision, recall, F1 against ground truth

7. Plot 2D PCA projection with anomaly highlights

8. Compare both algorithms

9. Discuss false positive rate trade-off

print("Experiment 15 complete.")

EXPECTED OUTPUT

Isolation Forest: Attack Recall ~88%, Precision ~74% | One-Class SVM: Attack Recall ~85%,
Precision ~79%
Both algorithms successfully detect most intrusions. False positive rate ~5% aligns with
contamination parameter.
