In this course, using practical, step-by-step examples, we build predictive analytics solutions while using cutting-edge Python tools and packages. Students will learn how to perform data preparation, explore and visualize relationships, as well as build models, tune, evaluate, and deploy models. Each stage has relevant practical examples and efficient Python code. You will work with models such as KNN, Random Forests, and neural networks using the most important libraries in Python's data science stack: NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, Seabor, Keras, Dash, and so on. In addition to hands-on code examples, you will find intuitive explanations of the inner workings of the main techniques and algorithms used in predictive analytics.
