Which classifier to use?

[mschoettner]

In my project, I want to predict if someone has ASD from resting state fMRI data. I am new to machine learning, so I am unsure which classifier to use for that. @illdopejake can you maybe point me to a resource that could help me in my decision?

Hi Mikkel, that's a great question. I think a good place to start would be this chart from the sklearn website and tutorials (generally a great resource).

Unless you have an enormous amount of data, you are probably best off using a simple algorithm like Linear SVC or Logistic Regression.

Thanks, that's a neat little graph!
