Performance From Various Predictive Models

Introduction: In the first blog, we decided on the predictors. We knew that different predictive models have different assumptions about their predictors. Random Forest has none, but Logistic Regression requires normality of the continuous variables, and assumes the probability between 2 consecutive unit levels in a series of numbers to stay constant. K Nearest Neighbors requires the predictors to be at least on the same scale. SVM, Logistic Regression, and Neural Networks tend to be sensitive to outliers.
