Categorical classification

Categorical classification is a method used in data analysis to sort items into distinct groups based on their features. Instead of measuring things on a continuous scale, it assigns items to categories, such as "red" or "blue," "spam" or "not spam," or "dog" or "cat." This approach helps in identifying patterns and making decisions by categorizing data points into predefined labels. It’s widely used in fields like marketing, medicine, and machine learning to classify data efficiently and accurately.
