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

Learn step-by-step:

  1. Loading Data
  2. Find the correlation between the dependent variable and the independent variables
  3. Building the Linear Regression Model
  4. Building the Random Forest and Support Vector Machine Regression Models
  5. Exploratory Data Analysis - Part 2
  6. Exploratory Data Analysis

Population Health: Predictive Analytics (Coursera)

Predictive analytics has a longstanding tradition in medicine. Developing better prediction models is a critical step in the pursuit of improved health care: we need these tools to guide our decision-making on preventive measures, and individualized treatments. In order to effectively use and develop these models, we must understand them better. In this course, you will learn how to make accurate prediction tools, and how to assess their validity. First, we will discuss the role of predictive analytics for prevention, diagnosis, and effectiveness. Then, we look at key concepts such as study design, sample size and overfitting.

Basic Statistics (Coursera)

Understanding statistics is essential to understand research in the social and behavioral sciences. In this course you will learn the basics of statistics; not just how to calculate them, but also how to evaluate them. This course will also prepare you for the next course in the specialization - the course Inferential Statistics. In the first part of the course we will discuss methods of descriptive statistics. You will learn what cases and variables are and how you can compute measures of central tendency (mean, median and mode) and dispersion (standard deviation and variance). Next, we discuss how to assess relationships between variables, and we introduce the concepts correlation and regression.
