Descriptive Statistics is the study of data analysis that involves describing and summarising different data sets. It can be any sample of a world's production or the salaries of employees. This module will teach you how to use Python to learn Descriptive Statistics for Machine Learning.

Inferential Statistics

In this module, you will use Python to study the core ideas of using data for estimating and evaluating hypotheses. You will also learn how you can get the insight of a large population or employees of any company which can't be achieved manually.

Probability & Conditional Probability

Probability is a quantitative tool for examining unpredictability, as the possibility of an event occurring in a random occurrence. The probability of an event occurring because of the occurrence of several other occurrences is recognized as conditional probability. You will learn Probability and Conditional Probability in Python for Machine Learning in this module.

Hypothesis Testing

With this module, you will learn how to use Python for Hypothesis Testing in Machine Learning. In Applied Statistics, hypothesis testing is among the crucial steps for conducting experiments based on the observed data.

With this module, you will learn supervised machine learning algorithms, the way they operate, and what applications they can be used for - Classification and Regression.

Linear Regression - Simple, Multiple regression

Linear Regression is one of the most popular Machine Learning algorithms for predictive studies, leading to the very best benefits. It is an algorithm that assumes the dependent and independent variables have a linear connection.

Logistic regression

Logistic Regression is one of the most popular machine learning algorithms. It is a fundamental classification technique that uses independent variables to predict binary data like 0 or 1, positive or negative , true or false, etc. In this module, you will learn all of the Logistic Regression concepts that are used in Machine Learning.

We explore beyond the limits of supervised standalone models in this Machine Learning online course and then discover a number of ways to address them, for example Ensemble approaches.

Decision Trees

The Decision Tree algorithm is an important part of the supervised learning algorithms family. The decision tree approach can be used to resolve regression and classification problems unlike others. By learning simple decision rules inferred from previous data, the goal of using a Decision Tree is constructing a training type that will be used to predict the class or value of the target varying.

Random Forests

Random Forest is a common supervised learning technique. It consists of multiple decision trees on the different subsets of the initial dataset. The average is then calculated to enhance the dataset's prediction accuracy.

Bagging and Boosting

When the aim is to decrease the variance of a decision tree classifier, bagging is implemented. The average of all predictions from several trees is used, that is a lot more dependable than a single decision tree classifier.

Boosting is a technique for generating a set of predictions. Learners are taught gradually in this technique, with early learners fitting basic models to the data and consequently analyzing the data for errors.
