How this course will help you?

A Verifiable Certificate of Completion is presented to all students who undertake this Machine learning advanced course.

If you are a business manager or an executive, or a student who wants to learn and apply machine learning in Real world problems of business, this course will give you a solid base for that by teaching you some of the advanced technique of machine learning, which are Decision tree, Random Forest, Bagging, AdaBoost and XGBoost.

Why should you choose this course?

This course covers all the steps that one should take while solving a business problem through Decision tree.

Most courses only focus on teaching how to run the analysis but we believe that what happens before and after running analysis is even more important i.e. before running analysis it is very important that you have the right data and do some pre-processing on it. And after running analysis, you should be able to judge how good your model is and interpret the results to actually be able to help your business.

What makes us qualified to teach you?

The course is taught by Abhishek and Pukhraj. As managers in Global Analytics Consulting firm, we have helped businesses solve their business problem using machine learning techniques and we have used our experience to include the practical aspects of data analysis in this course

What is covered in this course?

This course teaches you all the steps of creating a decision tree based model, which are some of the most popular Machine Learning model, to solve business problems.

Below are the course contents of this course :

Section 1 - Introduction to Machine Learning

In this section we will learn - What does Machine Learning mean. What are the meanings or different terms associated with machine learning? You will see some examples so that you understand what machine learning actually is. It also contains steps involved in building a machine learning model, not just linear models, any machine learning model.

Section 2 - R basic

This section will help you set up the R and R studio on your system and it'll teach you how to perform some basic operations in R.

Section 3 - Pre-processing and Simple Decision trees

In this section you will learn what actions you need to take to prepare it for the analysis, these steps are very important for creating a meaningful.

In this section, we will start with the basic theory of decision tree then we cover data pre-processing topics like missing value imputation, variable transformation and Test-Train split. In the end we will create and plot a simple Regression decision tree.

Section 4 - Simple Classification Tree

This section we will expand our knowledge of regression Decision tree to classification trees, we will also learn how to create a classification tree in Python

Section 5, 6 and 7 - Ensemble technique

In this section we will start our discussion about advanced ensemble techniques for Decision trees. Ensembles techniques are used to improve the stability and accuracy of machine learning algorithms. In this course we will discuss Random Forest, Bagging, Gradient Boosting, AdaBoost and XGBoost.

By the end of this course, your confidence in creating a Decision tree model in R will soar. You'll have a thorough understanding of how to use Decision tree modelling to create predictive models and solve business problems.
