Classification techniques of machine learning, such as Logistic Regression,
Linear Discriminant Analysis and KNN
Why should you choose this course?
This course covers all the steps that one should take while solving a
business problem using classification techniques.
Most courses only focus on teaching how to run the analysis but we believe
that what happens before and after running analysis is even more important
i.e. before running analysis it is very important that you have the right
data and do some pre-processing on it. And after running analysis, you
should be able to judge how good your model is and interpret the results to
actually be able to help your business.

What is covered in this course?
This course teaches you all the steps of creating a Linear Regression model,
which is the most popular Machine Learning model, to solve business
problems.
Below are the course contents of this course on Linear Regression:
· Section 1 - Basics of Statistics
This section is divided into five different lectures starting from types of
data then types of statistics then graphical representations to describe the
data and then a lecture on measures of center like mean median and mode and
lastly measures of dispersion like range and standard deviation
· Section 2 - R basic
This section will help you set up the R and R studio on your system and
it'll teach you how to perform some basic operations in R.
· Section 3 - Introduction to Machine Learning
In this section we will learn - What does Machine Learning mean. What are
the meanings or different terms associated with machine learning? You will
see some examples so that you understand what machine learning actually is.
It also contains steps involved in building a machine learning model, not
just linear models, any machine learning model.
· Section 4 - Data Pre-processing
In this section you will learn what actions you need to take a step by step
to get the data and then prepare it for the analysis these steps are very
important.
We start with understanding the importance of business knowledge then we
will see how to do data exploration. We learn how to do uni-variate analysis
and bi-variate analysis then we cover topics like outlier treatment and
missing value imputation.
· Section 5 - Classification Models
This section starts with Logistic regression and then covers Linear
Discriminant Analysis and K-Nearest Neighbors.
We have covered the basic theory behind each concept without getting too
mathematical about it so that you understand where the concept is coming
from and how it is important. But even if you don't understand it, it will
be okay as long as you learn how to run and interpret the result as taught
in the practical lectures.
We also look at how to quantify models performance using confusion matrix,
how categorical variables in the independent variables dataset are
interpreted in the results, test-train split and how do we finally interpret
the result to find out the answer to a business problem.
By the end of this course, your confidence in creating a classification
model in R will soar. You'll have a thorough understanding of how to use
Classification modelling to create predictive models and solve business
problems.
Below is a list of popular FAQs of students who want to start their Machine learning journey-
What is Machine Learning?
Machine Learning is a field of computer science which gives the computer the
ability to learn without being explicitly programmed. It is a branch of
artificial intelligence based on the idea that systems can learn from data,
identify patterns and make decisions with minimal human intervention.
Which all classification techniques are taught in this course?
In this course we learn both parametric and non-parametric classification
techniques. The primary focus will be on the following three techniques:
Logistic Regression
Linear Discriminant Analysis
K - Nearest Neighbors (KNN)
How much time does it take to learn Classification techniques of machine
learning?
Classification is easy but no one can determine the learning time it takes.
It totally depends on you. The method we adopted to help you learn
classification starts from the basics and takes you to advanced level within
hours. You can follow the same, but remember you can learn nothing without
practicing it. Practice is the only way to remember whatever you have
learnt. Therefore, we have also provided you with another data set to work
on as a separate project of classification.
What are the steps I should follow to be able to build a Machine Learning
model?
You can divide your learning process into 3 parts:
Statistics and Probability - Implementing Machine learning techniques
require basic knowledge of Statistics and probability concepts. Second
section of the course covers this part.
Understanding of Machine learning - Fourth section helps you understand the
terms and concepts associated with Machine learning and gives you the steps
to be followed to build a machine learning model
Programming Experience - A significant part of machine learning is
programming. Python and R clearly stand out to be the leaders in the recent
days. Third section will help you set up the Python environment and teach
you some basic operations. In later sections there is a video on how to
implement each concept taught in theory lecture in Python
Understanding of models - Fifth and sixth section cover Classification
models and with each theory lecture comes a corresponding practical lecture
where we actually run each query with you.
Why use R for Machine Learning?
Understanding R is one of the valuable skills needed for a career in Machine
Learning. Below are some reasons why you should learn Machine learning in R
1. It’s a popular language for Machine Learning at top tech firms. Almost
all of them hire data scientists who use R. Facebook, for example, uses R to
do behavioral analysis with user post data. Google uses R to assess ad
effectiveness and make economic forecasts. And by the way, it’s not just
tech firms: R is in use at analysis and consulting firms, banks and other
financial institutions, academic institutions and research labs, and pretty
much everywhere else data needs analyzing and visualizing.
2. Learning the data science basics is arguably easier in R. R has a big
advantage: it was designed specifically with data manipulation and analysis
in mind.
3. Amazing packages that make your life easier. Because R was designed with
statistical analysis in mind, it has a fantastic ecosystem of packages and
other resources that are great for data science.
4. Robust, growing community of data scientists and statisticians. As the
field of data science has exploded, R has exploded with it, becoming one of
the fastest-growing languages in the world (as measured by StackOverflow).
That means it’s easy to find answers to questions and community guidance as
you work your way through projects in R.
5. Put another tool in your toolkit. No one language is going to be the
right tool for every job. Adding R to your repertoire will make some
projects easier – and of course, it’ll also make you a more flexible and
marketable employee when you’re looking for jobs in data science.
What is the difference between Data Mining, Machine Learning, and Deep
Learning?
Put simply, machine learning and data mining use the same algorithms and
techniques as data mining, except the kinds of predictions vary. While data
mining discovers previously unknown patterns and knowledge, machine learning
reproduces known patterns and knowledge—and further automatically applies
that information to data, decision-making, and actions.
Deep learning, on the other hand, uses advanced computing power and special
types of neural networks and applies them to large amounts of data to learn,
understand, and identify complicated patterns. Automatic language
translation and medical diagnoses are examples of deep learning.
Who this course is for:
- People pursuing a career in data science
- Working Professionals beginning their Data journey
- Statisticians needing more practical experience
