Regression Models
About the course
Regression is one of the most used model techniques for both an accurate and comprehensible prediction of non-discrete outcomes. However, despite being widespread, interpreting results and drawing correct conclusions from these models can be a challenge. Through our interactive and instructor-led exercises, you will gain a full understanding of regression models and their validation, with significant time spent on validation metrics and feature engineering. This will include linear regression, logistic regression, and regression using tree models. All of which you will get to practice in real case exercises alongside our expert trainers. Once you understand the methods and the importance of feature selection and engineering you can begin to make a real impact on your business..Why this is for you
Linear regression models are often regarded as simple and something anyone can build. However, in practice a lot of issues (and how to solve them) are not well-known or just discarded, leading to bad models, wrong conclusions, and diminished impact. This course aims to provide a full understanding of regression models, typical issues that you can encounter and solutions for these issues, so real impact can be achieved in your business.For whom
This course is aimed at all professionals, working hands-on with data and AI, from a data science or data engineering perspective. To follow this course you must have completed our Machine Learning Process (3201) course. If you are a Data Scientist and want to know more, join our program!What you’ll learn
