Course Description

In this course you'll learn all about using linear classifiers, specifically logistic regression and support vector machines, with scikit-learn. Once you've learned how to apply these methods, you'll dive into the ideas behind them and find out what really makes them tick. At the end of this course you'll know how to train, test, and tune these linear classifiers in Python. You'll also have a conceptual foundation for understanding many other machine learning algorithms.

    More material on the background on regulation and different hyperparameter is beneficial

    Great course

    Well organized to understand the Linear Classifiers with classification and regress models. I might be better to move multi-class logistic regression to the last chapter after the SVM chapter
