Supervised Learning
Context
- With Supervised Learning, the objective is to find the best probabilistic characterization of a Target Node, i.e, producing a useful predictive model.
- This differs from Unsupervised Structural Learning, which attempts to find the best representation of the Joint Probability Distribution sampled by observations (or particles) recorded in a dataset.
- In early editions of BayesiaLab, Supervised Learning was also known as Characterization of the Target Node.
