In Python, we have many options for building Machine Learning solutions like Tensor Flow, Keras, etc. In this project, we use Scikit-Learn. Scikit-Learn provides a comprehensive array of tools for building regression models. The concepts learnt in this project can be extended to build Neural Networks using Tensor Flow or Keras or any other tool.
This Guided Project was created by a Coursera community member.

In this Guided Project, you will:

  • Learn how to create Regression Models using Scikit-Learn
  • Learn about Linear Regression, Regression using Random Forest Algorithm, Regression using Support Vector Machine Algorithm

Process Mining: Data science in Action (Coursera)

Process mining is the missing link between model-based process analysis and data-oriented analysis techniques. Through concrete data sets and easy to use software the course provides data science knowledge that can be applied directly to analyze and improve processes in a variety of domains. Data science is the profession of the future, because organizations that are unable to use (big) data in a smart way will not survive. It is not sufficient to focus on data storage and data analysis. The data scientist also needs to relate data to process analysis.

Data Visualization for Genome Biology (Coursera) Coursera

Data Visualization for Genome Biology (Coursera)

The past decade has seen a vast increase in the amount of data available to biologists, driven by the dramatic decrease in cost and concomitant rise in throughput of various next-generation sequencing technologies, such that a project unimaginable 10 years ago was recently proposed, the Earth BioGenomes Project, which aims to sequence the genomes of all eukaryotic species on the planet within the next 10 years. So while data are no longer limiting, accessing and interpreting those data has become a bottleneck. One important aspect of interpreting data is data visualization. This course introduces theoretical topics in data visualization through mini-lectures, and applied aspects in the form of hands-on labs.
