Over the course of eight weeks, you’ll cover widely applicable Python libraries and learn how these methods can be, and are, used in day-to-day business situations.

Gain an introduction into statistical learning, which will provide a foundation on the mechanics of machine learning. You’ll explore supervised learning using tree-based models and neural networks, as well as unsupervised learning using K-means and hierarchical clustering. You’ll also learn about the process of revealing more robust patterns to ensure models are useful.

This course is aimed at professionals who want to close any gaps they may have in their data science skills and knowledge. IT professionals who need to rapidly enhance their data science toolkit with demonstrable and practical skills would benefit from the technical nature of the content. Professionals working in a variety of industries will learn how to increase efficiencies and identify new opportunities for their organization with key data and programming skills.
