Python is the one of the most popular machine learning tools in use today. This course focuses on taking concepts in machine learning and applying them in practical ways. Common algorithms such as regression, clustering, and classification are explained, applied, and evaluated using Python. Participants will complete exercises to solidify understanding and build skills with the intent of finishing the course with a toolkit that can be used to build Python machine learning skills.
Prerequisites
R programming knowledge, statistics, and exposure to the machine learning process/algorithms.
