Course OVERVIEW
Description
CPE Credits: 11
Field of Study: Information Technology
Delivery Method: QAS Self Study
Delivery Method: QAS Self Study
Machine Learning in Python builds upon the statistical knowledge you gained earlier in the program. This course focuses on predictive modelling and enters multidimensional spaces which require an understanding of mathematical methods, transformations, and distributions. We will introduce these concepts, as well as complex means of analysis such as clustering, factoring, Bayesian inference, and decision theory, while also allowing you to exercise your Python programming skills.

- 2. Linear Regression with sklearn57 minWhile there are many libraries that can compute a regression model, the most numerically stable one is sklearn. It is also the preferred choice of many machine learning professionals. In this section, we implement all we know about regressions in this amazing library.57 minWhile there are many libraries that can compute a regression model, the most numerically stable one is sklearn.

- 3. Linear Regression Practical Example38 minAn all in one practical example, which will test your understanding of each of the concepts that we have discussed so far. We will focus on a used cars dataset and create a linear regression model to predict the prices of cars. At the end you will have a big assignment where you can dive deep into the optimization of a machine learning model.38 minAn all in one practical example, which will test your understanding of each of the concepts that we have discussed so far.

- 4. Logistic Regression41 minData scientists use logistic regressions when the dependent variable is binary (0 and 1, true and false, etc.). This type of data is encountered on a daily basis when working as a data scientist, and here, you will learn how to build a logistic regression, understand tables, interpret the coefficients of a logistic regression, calculate the accuracy of the model, as well as how to test. We will introduce under and overfitting, and will teach you how to test your models.41 minData scientists use logistic regressions when the dependent variable is binary (0 and 1, true and false, etc.).

- 5. Cluster Analysis (Basics and Prerequisites)15 minCluster analysis is the most intuitive and important example of unsupervised learning. However, to be able to understand cluster analysis, we must first explore the mathematics behind it.15 minCluster analysis is the most intuitive and important example of unsupervised learning.

- 6. K-Means Clustering50 minIn this section, you will learn how to do Cluster analysis. Cluster analysis consists in dividing your data into separate groups based on an algorithm. Clustering is an amazing technique often employed in data science. But what’s more, it makes much more sense to study patterns observed in a particular group rather than trying to find patterns in the entire dataset. We will provide several practical examples that will help you understand how to carry out cluster analysis and the difference between classification and clustering.50 minIn this section, you will learn how to do Cluster analysis.

- 7. Other Types of Clustering14 minIn previous sections, we focus extensively on k-means clustering, as it is the fastest and most efficient method for clustering. In this section, we explore other approaches that are less common.14 minIn previous sections, we focus extensively on k-means clustering, as it is the fastest and most efficient method for clustering.
