Predictive Modeling and Machine Learning with MATLAB (Coursera)

Offered by MathWorks,
Predictive Modeling and Machine Learning with MATLAB (Coursera)

In this course, you will build on the skills learned in Exploratory Data Analysis with MATLAB and Data Processing and Feature Engineering with MATLAB to increase your ability to harness the power of MATLAB to analyze data relevant to the work you do. These skills are valuable for those who have domain knowledge and some exposure to computational tools, but no programming background.

To be successful in this course, you should have some background in basic statistics (histograms, averages, standard deviation, curve fitting, interpolation) and have completed courses 1 through 2 of this specialization.
By the end of this course, you will use MATLAB to identify the best machine learning model for obtaining answers from your data. You will prepare your data, train a predictive model, evaluate and improve your model, and understand how to get the most out of your models.
Course 3 of 4 in the Practical Data Science with MATLAB Specialization.

Syllabus

WEEK 1
Creating Regression Models
In this module you'll apply the skills gained from the first two courses in the specialization on a new dataset. You'll be introduced to the Supervised Machine Learning Workflow and learn key terms. You'll end the module by creating and evaluating regression machine learning models.

Probabilistic Graphical Models 1: Representation (Coursera)

Probabilistic graphical models (PGMs) are a rich framework for encoding probability distributions over complex domains: joint (multivariate) distributions over large numbers of random variables that interact with each other. These representations sit at the intersection of statistics and computer science, relying on concepts from probability theory, graph algorithms, machine learning, and more. They are the basis for the state-of-the-art methods in a wide variety of applications, such as medical diagnosis, image understanding, speech recognition, natural language processing, and many, many more. They are also a foundational tool in formulating many machine learning problems.
