Machine Learning Model Types and Descriptions
1. Geometric Models
Geometric models represent data as points in a multidimensional space. Learning involves finding geometric structures like hyperplanes, clusters, or nearest neighbors that can separate or classify the data. These models rely on the distance between data points, vector spaces, and geometric transformations.
- Examples: Linear Classifiers (Perceptron, Logistic Regression, SVM), Nearest Neighbor Classifiers (k-NN), Clustering Models (K-means)
Understanding Hormones: Functions, Types, and Regulation
Understanding Hormones and Their Functions
K. Kimicar hormones exert their action in a small equilibrium between secretion and elimination. Variations in blood hormone levels can produce alterations, and hormone removal is essential for health. Hormones are produced through urine or by destruction in the liver, and they are transported through the blood to act according to their functions.
Types of Hormones
- Regulate various endocrine glands based on their origin.

Understanding Reaction Time and Information Processing
Information Processing & Reaction Time Revision Sheet
1. Core Concept
The human brain processes information like a computer, in a series of stages from receiving a stimulus to producing a response. The speed of this processing can be measured by Reaction Time (RT).
2. The Information-Processing Model
A three-stage model explaining how sensory input is transformed into motor output.
Input: Information from the environment received via the senses.
Stimulus Identification Stage: Deciding if a stimulus
