Build Awesome Predictive Models with PythonAbout This VideoUnderstand the core concepts in Predictive Analytics and how to apply them to build predictive models in diverse fieldsEffectively use Python's main library, scikit-learn, for Predictive Analytics and Machine LearningLearn the foundational models and algorithms that are required for any job in the field of Predictive AnalyticsIn DetailPython has become one of any data scientist's favorite tools for doing Predictive Analytics. In this hands-on course, you will learn how to build predictive models with Python. During the course, we will talk about the most important theoretical concepts that are essential when building predictive models for real-world problems. The main tool used in this course is scikit -learn, which is recognized as a great tool: it has a great variety of models, many useful routines, and a consistent interface that makes it easy to use. All the topics are taught using practical examples and throughout the course, we build many models using real-world datasets.By the end of this course, you will learn the various techniques in making predictions about bankruptcy and identifying spam text messages and then use our knowledge to create a credit card using a linear model for classification along with logistic regression.
