Supervised Learning: Classification

1. Logistic Regression

2. K Nearest Neighbors

3. Support Vector Machines

4. Decision Trees

5. Ensemble Models

6. Modeling Unbalanced Classes

This course targets aspiring data scientists interested in acquiring hands-on experience with Supervised Machine Learning Classification techniques in a business setting.

To make the most out of this course, you should have familiarity with programming on a Python development environment, as well as fundamental understanding of Data Cleaning, Exploratory Data Analysis, Calculus, Linear Algebra, Probability, and Statistics.

By the end of this course you should be able to: 

- Differentiate uses and applications of classification and classification ensembles. 

- Describe and use logistic regression models. 

- Describe and use decision tree and tree-ensemble models. 

- Describe and use other ensemble methods for classification. 

- Use a variety of error metrics to compare and select the classification model that best suits your data. 

- Use oversampling and undersampling as techniques to handle unbalanced classes in a data set.
