This course begins with linear and logistic regression, two of the most established tools for tackling machine learning problems. You’ll then explore algorithms with different theoretical foundations, including k-nearest neighbors, decision trees, and random forest. Key statistical concepts such as bias, variance, and overfitting will be emphasized, along with methods for measuring model accuracy and selecting effective features and algorithms.
Designed with practical application in mind, the course focuses on solving real-world problems using machine learning. Mathematical foundations will be explained visually, without requiring a formal math background. Students should be comfortable writing Python programs and using NumPy and Pandas before enrolling.
This course requires students to be comfortable with Python and its data science libraries (NumPy and Pandas). If a student has not worked in Python before, we require a student to enroll in our Python for Data Science Bootcamp before taking this course.
