Why should you choose this course?

This course covers all the steps that one should take while solving a business problem through linear regression.

Most courses only focus on teaching how to run the analysis but we believe that what happens before and after running analysis is even more important i.e. before running analysis it is very important that you have the right data and do some pre-processing on it. And after running analysis, you should be able to judge how good your model is and interpret the results to actually be able to help your business.

What is covered in this course?

This course teaches you all the steps of creating a Linear Regression model, which is the most popular Machine Learning model, to solve business problems.

Below are the course contents of this course on Linear Regression:

• Section 1 - Basics of Statistics

  This section is divided into five different lectures starting from types of data then types of statistics

  then graphical representations to describe the data and then a lecture on measures of center like mean

  median and mode and lastly measures of dispersion like range and standard deviation

• Section 2 - Python basic

  This section gets you started with Python.

  This section will help you set up the python and Jupyter environment on your system and it'll teach

  you how to perform some basic operations in Python. We will understand the importance of different libraries such as Numpy, Pandas & Seaborn.

• Section 3 - Introduction to Machine Learning

  In this section we will learn - What does Machine Learning mean. What are the meanings or different terms associated with machine learning? You will see some examples so that you understand what machine learning actually is. It also contains steps involved in building a machine learning model, not just linear models, any machine learning model.

• Section 4 - Data Preprocessing

  In this section you will learn what actions you need to take a step by step to get the data and then

  prepare it for the analysis these steps are very important.

  We start with understanding the importance of business knowledge then we will see how to do data exploration. We learn how to do uni-variate analysis and bi-variate analysis then we cover topics like outlier treatment, missing value imputation, variable transformation and correlation.

• Section 5 - Regression Model

  This section starts with simple linear regression and then covers multiple linear regression.

  We have covered the basic theory behind each concept without getting too mathematical about it so that you

  understand where the concept is coming from and how it is important. But even if you don't understand

  it, it will be okay as long as you learn how to run and interpret the result as taught in the practical lectures.

  We also look at how to quantify models accuracy, what is the meaning of F statistic, how categorical variables in the independent variables dataset are interpreted in the results, what are other variations to the ordinary least squared method and how do we finally interpret the result to find out the answer to a business problem.

By the end of this course, your confidence in creating a regression model in Python will soar. You'll have a thorough understanding of how to use regression modelling to create predictive models and solve business problems.

Below is a list of popular FAQs of students who want to start their Machine learning journey-

What is Machine Learning?

Machine Learning is a field of computer science which gives the computer the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed. It is a branch of artificial intelligence based on the idea that systems can learn from data, identify patterns and make decisions with minimal human intervention.

What is the Linear regression technique of Machine learning?

Linear Regression is a simple machine learning model for regression problems, i.e., when the target variable is a real value.

Linear regression is a linear model, e.g. a model that assumes a linear relationship between the input variables (x) and the single output variable (y). More specifically, that y can be calculated from a linear combination of the input variables (x).

When there is a single input variable (x), the method is referred to as simple linear regression.

When there are multiple input variables, the method is known as multiple linear regression.

Why learn Linear regression technique of Machine learning?

There are four reasons to learn Linear regression technique of Machine learning:

1. Linear Regression is the most popular machine learning technique

2. Linear Regression has fairly good prediction accuracy

3. Linear Regression is simple to implement and easy to interpret

4. It gives you a firm base to start learning other advanced techniques of Machine Learning

How much time does it take to learn Linear regression technique of machine learning?

Linear Regression is easy but no one can determine the learning time it takes. It totally depends on you. The method we adopted to help you learn Linear regression starts from the basics and takes you to advanced level within hours. You can follow the same, but remember you can learn nothing without practicing it. Practice is the only way to remember whatever you have learnt. Therefore, we have also provided you with another data set to work on as a separate project of Linear regression.

What are the steps I should follow to be able to build a Machine Learning model?

You can divide your learning process into 4 parts:

Statistics and Probability - Implementing Machine learning techniques require basic knowledge of Statistics and probability concepts. Second section of the course covers this part.

Understanding of Machine learning - Fourth section helps you understand the terms and concepts associated with Machine learning and gives you the steps to be followed to build a machine learning model

Programming Experience - A significant part of machine learning is programming. Python and R clearly stand out to be the leaders in the recent days. Third section will help you set up the Python environment and teach you some basic operations. In later sections there is a video on how to implement each concept taught in theory lecture in Python

Understanding of Linear Regression modelling - Having a good knowledge of Linear Regression gives you a solid understanding of how machine learning works. Even though Linear regression is the simplest technique of Machine learning, it is still the most popular one with fairly good prediction ability. Fifth and sixth section cover Linear regression topic end-to-end and with each theory lecture comes a corresponding practical lecture where we actually run each query with you.

Why use Python for data Machine Learning?

Understanding Python is one of the valuable skills needed for a career in Machine Learning.

Though it hasn’t always been, Python is the programming language of choice for data science. Here’s a brief history:

In 2016, it overtook R on Kaggle, the premier platform for data science competitions.

In 2017, it overtook R on KDNuggets’s annual poll of data scientists’ most used tools.

In 2018, 66% of data scientists reported using Python daily, making it the number one tool for analytics professionals.

Machine Learning experts expect this trend to continue with increasing development in the Python ecosystem. And while your journey to learn Python programming may be just beginning, it’s nice to know that employment opportunities are abundant (and growing) as well.

What is the difference between Data Mining, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning?

Put simply, machine learning and data mining use the same algorithms and techniques as data mining, except the kinds of predictions vary. While data mining discovers previously unknown patterns and knowledge, machine learning reproduces known patterns and knowledge—and further automatically applies that information to data, decision-making, and actions.

Deep learning, on the other hand, uses advanced computing power and special types of neural networks and applies them to large amounts of data to learn, understand, and identify complicated patterns. Automatic language translation and medical diagnoses are examples of deep learning.
