Syllabus

WEEK 1
Identify DataSet and UseCase
In this module, the basic process model used for this capstone project is introduced. Furthermore, the learner is required to identify a practical use case and data set

WEEK 2
ETL and Feature Creation
This module emphasizes on the importance of ETL, data cleansing and feature creation as a preliminary step in ever data science project

WEEK 3
Model Definition and Training
This module emphasizes on model selection based on use case and data set. It is important to understand how those two factors impact choice of a useful model algorithm.

WEEK 4
Model Evaluation, Tuning, Deployment and Documentation
One a model is trained it is important to assess its performance using an appropriate metric. In addition, once the model is finished, it has to be made consumable by business stakeholders in an appropriate way

Finding Hidden Messages in DNA (Bioinformatics I) (Coursera)

Sci: Biology & Life Sciences Health & Society

This course begins a series of classes illustrating the power of computing in modern biology. Please join us on the frontier of bioinformatics to look for hidden messages in DNA without ever needing to put on a lab coat. In the first half of the course, we investigate DNA replication, and ask the question, where in the genome does DNA replication begin? We will see that we can answer this question for many bacteria using only some straightforward algorithms to look for hidden messages in the genome.

If you have ever used a navigation service to find optimal route and estimate time to destination, you've used algorithms on graphs. Graphs arise in various real-world situations as there are road networks, computer networks and, most recently, social networks! If you're looking for the fastest time to get to work, cheapest way to connect set of computers into a network or efficient algorithm to automatically find communities and opinion leaders in Facebook, you're going to work with graphs and algorithms on graphs.

Statistics & Data Analysis Data Science

This course covers the essential exploratory techniques for summarizing data. These techniques are typically applied before formal modeling commences and can help inform the development of more complex statistical models. Exploratory techniques are also important for eliminating or sharpening potential hypotheses about the world that can be addressed by the data.

Reproducible Research (Coursera)

Statistics & Data Analysis Data Science

This course focuses on the concepts and tools behind reporting modern data analyses in a reproducible manner. Reproducible research is the idea that data analyses, and more generally, scientific claims, are published with their data and software code so that others may verify the findings and build upon them. The need for reproducibility is increasing dramatically as data analyses become more complex, involving larger datasets and more sophisticated computations.

Approximation Algorithms (Coursera)

Computer Science

Many real-world algorithmic problems cannot be solved efficiently using traditional algorithmic tools, for example because the problems are NP-hard. The goal of this course is to become familiar with important algorithmic concepts and techniques needed to effectively deal with such problems. These techniques apply when we don't require the optimal solution to certain problems, but an approximation that is close to the optimal solution. We will see how to efficiently find such approximations.

Case Study - Predicting Housing Prices. In our first case study, predicting house prices, you will create models that predict a continuous value (price) from input features (square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms,...). This is just one of the many places where regression can be applied. Other applications range from predicting health outcomes in medicine, stock prices in finance, and power usage in high-performance computing, to analyzing which regulators are important for gene expression.
