This applied Machine Learning (ML) series introduces participants to the fundamentals of supervised learning and provides experience in applying several ML algorithms in Python. Participants will gain experience in regression modeling; assessing model adequacy, prediction precision, and computational performance; and learn several tools for visualizing each step of the process.
This is part 1 of a 3 part series. Topics covered in part 1:
Fundamentals of supervised learning in Python; applying a rudimentary ML model using univariate linear regression (i.e., one feature):
-- Overview: “What is Machine Learning?”
-- Univariate Linear Regression Model
-- Mean-Squared Error Cost Function
-- Gradient Descent Algorithm for Linear Regression
