Suggestions for nonparametric machine learning models
I think multi-linear regression model would work well for your case. I am assuming that the input data is just a bunch of environmental parameters and you have a boat speed corresponding to that. For such problems, regression usually works well. I would not recommend you to use neural networks unless you have a lot of training data and the size of one input data is also quite big.
I am new to machine learning, but I have decent experience in python. I am faced with a problem: I need to find a machine learning model that would work well to predict the speed of a boat given current environmental and physical conditions. I have looked into Scikit-Learn, Pytorch, and Tensorflow, but I am having trouble finding information on what type of model I should use. I am almost certain that linear regression models would be useless for this task. I have been told that non-parametric regression models would be ideal for this, but I am unable to find many in the Scikit Library. Should I be trying to use regression models at all, or should I be looking more into Neural Networks? I'm open to any suggestions, thanks in advance.
