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 one of the main types of Machine Learning: Unsupervised Learning as well as additional topics in Machine Learning that complement essential tasks, including forecasting and analyzing censored data. You will learn how to find insights from data sets that do not have a target or labeled variable. You will learn several clustering and dimension reduction algorithms for unsupervised learning as well as how to select the algorithm that best suits your data. You will learn how to find and analyze data with a time component and censored data that needs outcome inference. You will learn a few techniques for Time Series Analysis and Survival Analysis. The hands-on section of this course focuses on using best practices for unsupervised learning and verifying assumptions derived from Statistical learning.

Skills Gained
By the end of this course you should be able to:
Explain the kinds of problems suitable for Unsupervised Learning approaches. Explain the curse of dimensionality, and how it makes clustering difficult with many features. Describe and use common clustering and dimensionality-reduction algorithms. Try clustering points where appropriate, compare the performance of per-cluster models. Understand metrics relevant for characterizing clusters. Identify common modeling challenges with time series data. Explain how to decompose Time Series data: trend, seasonality, and residuals. Explain how autoregressive, moving average, and ARIMA models work. Understand how to select and implement various Time Series models. Describe hazard and survival modeling approaches. Identify types of problems suitable for survival analysis.

I registered a day before class and am happy that I received all the materials and links in time for the class. Thanks.
The labs and course material gave me valuable insights into cloud security architecture
The exit certified aws course provided a good introduction to the tools available on aws.
It is very good and very simple instructions. almost to much hand holding.
Instructor knew her stuff. Long time in the industry. Course was easy to follow and very informative.
