    About the Course

    One of the most common tasks performed by data scientists and data analysts are prediction and machine learning. This course will cover the
    basic components of building and applying prediction functions with an emphasis on practical applications. The course will provide basic
    grounding in concepts such as training and tests sets, overfitting, and error rates. The course will also introduce a range of model based and
    algorithmic machine learning methods including regression, classification trees, Naive Bayes, and random forests. The course will cover the
    complete process of building prediction functions including data collection, feature creation, algorithms, and evaluation.

    Great introduction to ML.Demands focus and hard work. Forces one to review earlier courses - Statistical Inference, regression models, EDA.Leaves lots of appetite for additional knowledge and skills.

    excellent course. Be prepared to learn a lot if you work hard and don't give up if you think it is hard, just continue thinking, and interact with other students and tutors + Google and Stackoverflow!
