Why should you choose this course?

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

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 makes us qualified to teach you?

The course is taught by Abhishek and Pukhraj. As managers in Global Analytics Consulting firm, we have helped businesses solve their business problem using machine learning techniques and we have used our experience to include the practical aspects of data analysis in this course

What is covered in this course?

This course teaches you all the steps of creating a decision tree based model, which are some of the most popular Machine Learning model, to solve business problems.

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

• Section 1 - 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 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 - Pre-processing and Simple Decision trees

  In this section you will learn what actions you need to take to prepare it for the analysis, these steps are very important for creating a meaningful.

  In this section, we will start with the basic theory of decision tree then we cover data pre-processing topics like missing value imputation, variable transformation and Test-Train split. In the end we will create and plot a simple Regression decision tree.

• Section 4 - Simple Classification Tree

  This section we will expand our knowledge of regression Decision tree to classification trees, we will also learn how to create a classification tree in Python

• Section 5, 6 and 7 - Ensemble technique
  In this section we will start our discussion about advanced ensemble techniques for Decision trees. Ensembles techniques are used to improve the stability and accuracy of machine learning algorithms. In this course we will discuss Random Forest, Baggind, Gradient Boosting, AdaBoost and XGBoost.

By the end of this course, your confidence in creating a Decision tree model in Python will soar. You'll have a thorough understanding of how to use Decision tree 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 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.
