Introduction to Machine Learning

About This Course

This course covers the essential concepts of statistical analyses and mathematical modeling, introducing terminology and core algorithms from the field of machine learning. You'll gain hands-on experience with linear models for classification and regression, including data preprocessing, dimensionality reduction, model selection, feature selection, model construction and regularization. We’ll construct models using data from a variety of application domains.

What You’ll Learn

  • Foundational concepts from linear algebra, probability, calculus and statistics 
  • Linear, graphical, nearest neighbor and generalized additive models 
  • Model building, evaluation, tuning and performance improvement

Get Hands-On Experience

You’ll practice working with open-source tools such as Anaconda3, Python and scikit-learn.
