Basic Data Analysis and Model Building using Python (Coursera)

Basic Data Analysis and Model Building using Python (Coursera)

By the end of this project learners will be able to perform data ingestion using Pandas and Numpy, preprocess and visualize the data using Matplotlib and Seaborn. Learners will also build a binary classification model using Scikit-Learn. Additionally, learners will be introduced to other data science concepts and techniques such as standardization and up- and down-sampling of biased data. It is important to manipulate your data such that it can then be used to build a predictive model.
