Description

The course "Machine Learning Basics: Building Regression Model in Python" teaches you all the steps of creating a Linear Regression model, which is the most popular Machine Learning model, to solve business problems. Below is a list of popular FAQs of students who want to start their Machine learning journey- What is Machine Learning? Machine Learning is a field of computer science which gives the computer the ability to learn without being explicitly programmed. It is a branch of artificial intelligence based on the idea that systems can learn from data, identify patterns and make decisions with minimal human intervention. What is the Linear regression technique of Machine learning? Linear Regression is a simple machine learning model for regression problems, i.e., when the target variable is a real value. Linear regression is a linear model, e.g. a model that assumes a linear relationship between the input variables (x) and the single output variable (y). More specifically, that y can be calculated from a linear combination of the input variables (x). When there is a single input variable (x), the method is referred to as simple linear regression. When there are multiple input variables, the method is known as multiple linear regression. Why learn Linear regression technique of Machine learning? There are four reasons to learn Linear regression technique of Machine learning: 1. Linear Regression is the most popular machine learning technique 2. Linear Regression has fairly good prediction accuracy 3. Linear Regression is simple to implement and easy to interpret 4. It gives you a firm base to start learning other advanced techniques of Machine Learning How much time does it take to learn Linear regression technique of machine learning? Linear Regression is easy but no one can determine the learning time it takes. It totally depends on you. The method we adopted to help you learn Linear regression starts from the basics and takes you to advanced level within hours. You can follow the same, but remember you can learn nothing without practicing it. Practice is the only way to remember whatever you have learnt. Therefore, we have also provided you with another data set to work on as a separate project of Linear regression. What are the steps I should follow to be able to build a Machine Learning model? You can divide your learning process into 4 parts: Statistics and Probability - Implementing Machine learning techniques require basic knowledge of Statistics and probability concepts. Second section of the course covers this part. Understanding of Machine learning - Fourth section helps you understand the terms and concepts associated with Machine learning and gives you the steps to be followed to build a machine learning model Programming Experience - A significant part of machine learning is programming. Python and R clearly stand out to be the leaders in the recent days. Third section will help you set up the Python environment and teach you some basic operations. In later sections there is a video on how to implement each concept taught in theory lecture in Python Understanding of Linear Regression modelling - Having a good knowledge of Linear Regression gives you a solid understanding of how machine learning works. Even though Linear regression is the simplest technique of Machine learning, it is still the most popular one with fairly good prediction ability. Fifth and sixth section cover Linear regression topic end-to-end and with each theory lecture comes a corresponding practical lecture where we actually run each query with you. Why use Python for data Machine Learning? Understanding Python is one of the valuable skills needed for a career in Machine Learning. Though it hasn’t always been, Python is the programming language of choice for data science. Here’s a brief history: In 2016, it overtook R on Kaggle, the premier platform for data science competitions. In 2017, it overtook R on KDNuggets’s annual poll of data scientists’ most used tools. In 2018, 66% of data scientists reported using Python daily, making it the number one tool for analytics professionals. Machine Learning experts expect this trend to continue with increasing development in the Python ecosystem. And while your journey to learn Python programming may be just beginning, it’s nice to know that employment opportunities are abundant (and growing) as well.
