The "covtype" dataset in scikit-learn represents forest cover information and includes a variety of soil characteristics for seven different forest cover types. The proposed work solves the classification problem, where the goal is to accurately determine the type of forest cover based on given soil characteristics. The study uses various machine learning methods such as decision trees and naive Bayes classifier. Models are trained on an extensive training set and then evaluated on test data to determine their ability to accurately predict forest cover types. The classification results are analyzed, including metrics of accuracy, recall, F1-measures, as well as ROC curves are constructed and the areas under them (AUC) are calculated. The results and metrics obtained allow us to compare the effectiveness of different models in solving a given classification problem. The knowledge gained can be useful for the application of machine learning algorithms in ecology and forest resource management.
