Regression using Scikit-Learn (Coursera)

Regression using Scikit-Learn (Coursera)

This project is aimed at students and practitioners of Data Sciences for building Predictive Analytics models for research and commercial purposes. Machine Learning can be used to solve prediction problems for classification and regression. In this project, we discuss about using Machine Learning for building Regression Models. We will use Python Language.

In Python, we have many options for building Machine Learning solutions like Tensor Flow, Keras, etc. In this project, we use Scikit-Learn. Scikit-Learn provides a comprehensive array of tools for building regression models. The concepts learnt in this project can be extended to build Neural Networks using Tensor Flow or Keras or any other tool.
This Guided Project was created by a Coursera community member.

In this Guided Project, you will:

  • Learn how to create Regression Models using Scikit-Learn
  • Learn about Linear Regression, Regression using Random Forest Algorithm, Regression using Support Vector Machine Algorithm

Learn step-by-step:

  1. Loading Data
  2. Find the correlation between the dependent variable and the independent variables
  3. Building the Linear Regression Model
  4. Building the Random Forest and Support Vector Machine Regression Models
  5. Exploratory Data Analysis - Part 2
  6. Exploratory Data Analysis

Redes Ecológicas (Coursera)

Todos os seres vivos estão conectados entre si por interações ecológicas, formando a “colina emaranhada” de Darwin, metáfora inspirada pela “teia da vida” de Humboldt. Desemaranhar essa complexidade é uma tarefa desafiadora, mas factível, desde que você use ferramentas adequadas. A ciência de redes nos ajuda com excelentes ferramentas conceituais e operacionais.

Accounting Data Analytics with Python (Coursera)

This course focuses on developing Python skills for assembling business data. It will cover some of the same material from Introduction to Accounting Data Analytics and Visualization, but in a more general purpose programming environment (Jupyter Notebook for Python), rather than in Excel and the Visual Basic Editor. These concepts are taught within the context of one or more accounting data domains (e.g., financial statement data from EDGAR, stock data, loan data, point-of-sale data).

Applied Text Mining in Python (Coursera)

This course will introduce the learner to text mining and text manipulation basics. The course begins with an understanding of how text is handled by python, the structure of text both to the machine and to humans, and an overview of the nltk framework for manipulating text. The second week focuses on common manipulation needs, including regular expressions (searching for text), cleaning text, and preparing text for use by machine learning processes. The third week will apply basic natural language processing methods to text, and demonstrate how text classification is accomplished. The final week will explore more advanced methods for detecting the topics in documents and grouping them by similarity (topic modelling).

Experimentation for Improvement (Coursera)

We are always using experiments to improve our lives, our community, and our work. Are you doing it efficiently? Or are you (incorrectly) changing one thing at a time and hoping for the best? In this course, you will learn how to plan efficient experiments - testing with many variables. Our goal is to find the best results using only a few experiments. A key part of the course is how to optimize a system.

Comparing Genes, Proteins, and Genomes (Bioinformatics III) (Coursera)

Once we have sequenced genomes in the previous course, we would like to compare them to determine how species have evolved and what makes them different. In the first half of the course, we will compare two short biological sequences, such as genes (i.e., short sequences of DNA) or proteins. We will encounter a powerful algorithmic tool called dynamic programming that will help us determine the number of mutations that have separated the two genes/proteins.
