Supervised Learning with scikit-learn
|
Grow your machine learning skills with scikit-learn in Python. Use real-world datasets in this interactive course and learn how to make powerful predictions!
Course Description
Grow your machine learning skills with scikit-learn and discover how to use this popular Python library to train models using labeled data. In this course, you’ll learn how to make powerful predictions, such as whether a customer is will churn from your business, whether an individual has diabetes, and even how to tell classify the genre of a song. Using real-world datasets, you’ll find out how to build predictive models, tune their parameters, and determine how well they will perform with unseen data.
What You’ll Learn
Classification
In this chapter, you’ll be introduced to classification problems and learn how to solve them using supervised learning techniques. You’ll learn how to split data into training and test sets, fit a model, make predictions, and evaluate accuracy. You’ll discover the relationship between model complexity and performance, applying what you learn to a churn dataset, where you will classify the churn status of a telecom company’s customers.
Fine-Tuning Your Model
Having trained models, now you will learn how to evaluate them. In this chapter, you will be introduced to several metrics along with a visualization technique for analyzing classification model performance using scikit-learn. You will also learn how to optimize classification and regression models through the use of hyperparameter tuning.
Regression
In this chapter, you will be introduced to regression, and build models to predict sales values using a dataset on advertising expenditure. You will learn about the mechanics of linear regression and common performance metrics such as R-squared and root mean squared error. You will perform k-fold cross-validation, and apply regularization to regression models to reduce the risk of overfitting.
Preprocessing and Pipelines
Learn how to impute missing values, convert categorical data to numeric values, scale data, evaluate multiple supervised learning models simultaneously, and build pipelines to streamline your workflow!
