Course Details
• Introduction to Predictive Modeling: Overview of predictive model building, its applications, and benefits. Understanding the differences between regression, classification, and time series analysis.
• Data Preparation: Data cleaning, preprocessing, and exploratory data analysis. Handling missing data, outliers, and categorical variables. Feature scaling, transformation, and engineering.
• Statistical Foundations: Probability distributions, statistical inference, hypothesis testing, and confidence intervals. Understanding the assumptions of predictive models and their implications.
• Model Evaluation Metrics: Evaluating the performance of predictive models using accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, R-squared, mean absolute error, mean squared error, and other metrics.
• Regression Analysis: Simple and multiple linear regression, polynomial regression, and logistic regression. Understanding the assumptions, advantages, and limitations of these models.
• Classification Techniques: Decision trees, random forests, support vector machines, and k-nearest neighbors. Ensemble methods, such as bagging, boosting, and stacking.
• Time Series Analysis: Autoregressive (AR), moving average (MA), and autoregressive moving average (ARIMA) models. Seasonality, trends, and stationarity. Forecasting techniques and performance evaluation.
• Model Selection and Tuning: Model validation techniques, such as k-fold cross-validation and bootstrapping. Grid search, random search, and Bayesian optimization for hyperparameter tuning. Overfitting, underfitting, and model complexity.
• Deploying Predictive Models: Integrating predictive models into production environments. Containerization, version control, and monitoring performance. Ethical considerations and model transparency.
