Course Description
Building good models only succeeds if you have a decent base table to start with. In this course you will learn how to construct a good base table, create variables and prepare your data for modeling. We finish with advanced topics on the matter. If you have not already, you should take Foundations of Predictive Analytics in Python (Part 1) first.

Crucial base table concepts
FreeIn this chapter you will learn how to construct the foundations of your base table, namely the population and the target.
-
Data preparation
Once you derived variables from the raw data, it is time to clean the data and prepare it for modeling. In this Chapter we discuss the steps that need to be taken to make your data modeling-ready.
-
Creating variables
You will learn how to add variables to the base table that you can use to predict the target.
-
Advanced base table concepts
In some cases, the target or variables change heavily with the seasons. You will learn how you can deal with seasonality by adding different snapshots to the base table.
