  • Principal component analysis – Principal Component Analysis is a technique to reduce the complexity of a model, like eliminating the number of input variables for a predictive model to avoid overfitting.

Ensemble Techniques

In this Machine Learning, we discuss supervised standalone models’ shortcomings and learn a few techniques, such as Ensemble techniques, to overcome these shortcomings.

  • Bagging & Boosting – Bagging is a meta-algorithm in machine learning used for enhancing the stability and accuracy of machine learning algorithms, which are used in statistical classification and regression.
    Boosting is a meta-algorithm in machine learning that converts robust classifiers from several weak classifiers. 
  • Random Forest – Random Forest comprises several decision trees on the provided dataset’s several subsets. Then, it calculates the average for enhancing the dataset’s predictive accuracy.
  • AdaBoost & Gradient boosting – Boosting can be further classified as Gradient boosting and ADA boosting or Adaptive boosting. This module will teach you about Gradient boosting and ADA boosting.

Association Rules Mining & Recommendation Systems

Association rule mining is the data mining process of finding the rules that may govern associations and causal objects between sets of items.

Recommendation engines are a subclass of machine learning which generally deal with ranking or rating products / users. Loosely defined, a recommender system is a system which predicts ratings a user might give to a specific item. These predictions will then be ranked and returned back to the user.

 

Understanding to Deep Learning – Single Layer Perceptron

Artificial neural networks, usually simply called neural networks or neural nets, are computing systems inspired by the biological neural networks that constitute animal brains. An ANN is based on a collection of connected units or nodes called artificial neurons, which loosely model the neurons in a biological brain.

Convolutional Neural Network

A convolutional neural network is a feed-forward neural network that is generally used to analyze visual images by processing data with grid-like topology. It’s also known as a ConvNet. A convolutional neural network is used to detect and classify objects in an image.

 

  • Time Series Analysis

In this lesson, you will learn –

  • Trend and seasonality – Trend is a systematic linear or non-linear component in Time Series metrics, which changes over a while and does not repeat.
    Seasonality is a systematic linear or non-linear component in Time Series metrics, which changes over a while and repeats.
  • Decomposition – This module will teach you how to decompose the time series data into Trend and Seasonality.
  • Smoothing (moving average) – This module will teach you how to use this method for univariate data.
  • SES, Holt & Holt-Winter Model – SES, Holt, and Holt-Winter Models are various Smoothing models, and you will learn everything you need to know about these models in this module.
  • AR, Lag Series, ACF, PACF – In this module, you will learn about AR, Lag Series, ACF, and PACF models used in Time Series.
  • ADF, Random walk and Auto Arima – In this module, you will learn about ADF, Random walk, and Auto Arima techniques used in Time Series.
  • Sequences and Prediction

Sequence prediction is a problem that involves using historical sequence information to predict the next value or values in the sequence.

  • Deep Neural Networks for Time Series

Neural networks have been successfully used for forecasting data series. Neural Networks have the advantage that they can approximate nonlinear functions.

  • Recurrent Neural Networks for Time Series

In RNNs, the signals passing through recurrent connections constitute an effective memory for the network, which can then use the information in memory to better predict the future time series values.

  • Stationarity and Time Series Smoothing

Smoothing is a technique applied to time series to remove the fine-grained variation between time steps. The hope of smoothing is to remove noise and better expose the signal of the underlying causal processes.

  • ARMA and ARIMA Models

ARMA is a model of forecasting in which the methods of autoregression (AR) analysis and moving average (MA) are both applied to time-series data that is well behaved. An ARIMA model is a class of statistical models for analyzing and forecasting time series data.

  • Survival Analysis Forecasts

The goal of survival analysis is to predict time until an event happens and estimate the survival probability.
