Context. Machine learning methods are effective tools in astronomical tasks for classifying objects by their individual features. One of the promising utilities is related to the morphological classification of galaxies at different redshifts. Aims. We use the photometry-based approach for the SDSS data 1) to exploit five supervised machine learning techniques and define the most effective among them for the automated galaxy morphological classification; 2) to test the influence of photometry data on morphology classification; 3) to discuss problem points of supervised machine learning and labeling bias; and 4) to apply the best fitting machine learning methods for revealing the unknown morphological types of galaxies from the SDSS DR9 at z < 0.1. Methods. We used different galaxy classification techniques: human labeling, multi-photometry diagrams, naive Bayes, logistic regression, support-vector machine, random forest, k-nearest neighbors. Results. We present the results of a binary automated morphological classification of galaxies conducted by human labeling, multiphotometry, and five supervised machine learning methods. We applied it to the sample of galaxies from the SDSS DR9 with redshifts of 0.02 < z < 0.1 and absolute stellar magnitudes of −24 m < M r < −19.4 m . For the analysis we used absolute magnitudes M
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
