Overview
This IBM Self-Paced Virtual Class (SPVC) includes:
- PDF course guide available to attendee during and after course
- Lab environment where students can work through demonstrations and exercises at their own pace
This course introduces you to two of the main types of modelling families of supervised Machine Learning: Regression and Classification. You start by learning how to train regression models to predict continuous outcomes and how to use error metrics to compare across different models. You then learn how to train predictive models to classify categorical outcomes and how to use error metrics to compare across different models. This course also walks you through best practices, including train and test splits, and regularization techniques. The hands-on section of this course focuses on using best practices for classification, including train and test splits, and handling data sets with unbalanced classes.
