Introduction to R

Many times in machine learning, the goal is to find patterns in data without trying to make predictions. This is called unsupervised learning. One common use case of unsupervised learning is grouping consumers based on demographics and purchasing history to deploy targeted marketing campaigns. Another example is wanting to describe the unmeasured factors that most influence crime differences between cities. This course provides a basic introduction to clustering and dimensionality reduction in R from a machine learning perspective, so that you can get from data to insights as quickly as possible.

Unsupervised Learning in R

Machine learning is the field that teaches machines and computers to learn from existing data to make predictions on new data: Will a tumor be benign or malignant? Which of your customers will take their business elsewhere? Is a particular email spam? In this course, you'll learn how to use Python to perform supervised learning, an essential component of machine learning. You'll learn how to build predictive models, tune their parameters, and determine how well they will perform with unseen data—all while using real world datasets. You'll be using scikit-learn, one of the most popular and user-friendly machine learning libraries for Python.

Learn how to build and tune predictive models and evaluate how well they'll perform on unseen data.

Data science isn't just for predicting ad-clicks-it's also useful for social impact! This course is a case study from a machine learning competition on DrivenData. You'll explore a problem related to school district budgeting. By building a model to automatically classify items in a school's budget, it makes it easier and faster for schools to compare their spending with other schools. In this course, you'll begin by building a baseline model that is a simple, first-pass approach. In particular, you'll do some natural language processing to prepare the budgets for modeling. Next, you'll have the opportunity to try your own techniques and see how they compare to participants from the competition. Finally, you'll see how the winner was able to combine a number of expert techniques to build the most accurate model.

In any data-driven company, you will undoubtedly cross paths with data engineers. Among other things, they facilitate some of your work by making data readily available to everyone within the organization, and possibly in bringing machine learning models into production. One way to speed up this process is through building an understanding of what it means to bring processes into production and what features are of high-grade code. In this course, we’ll be looking at various data pipelines the data engineer is building, and how some of the tools he or she is using can help you in getting your models into production or run repetitive tasks consistently and efficiently.
 
In this course, we illustrate common elements of data engineering pipelines. In Chapter 1, you will learn how to ingest data. Chapter 2 will go one step further with cleaning and transforming data. In Chapter 3, you will learn how to safely deploy code. Finally, in Chapter 4 you will schedule complex dependencies between applications.
 
Building Data Engineering Pipelines covers new technologies and material, so we recommend that you have a strong understanding of the prerequisites to get the most out of this course.

Shiny is an R package that makes it easy to build highly interactive web apps directly in R. Using Shiny, data scientists can create interactive web apps that allow your team to dive in and explore your data as dashboards or visualizations. If you want to bring your data to life, Shiny is the way to go! Using data about baby names, food ingredients, and UFO sightings, you'll build a variety of different Shiny apps that leverage different inputs and outputs. You’ll also learn the basics of reactive expressions. By the end of this course, you’ll have the Shiny skills you need to build your first app in R.

Did you know that data scientists and data analysts spend a large amount of time cleaning data before they can analyze it? This is because real-world data is messy. To help you navigate messy data this course teaches you how to clean data stored in an SQL Server database. You’ll learn how to solve common problems such as how to clean messy strings, deal with empty values, compare the similarity between strings, and much more. You’ll get hands-on with all these tasks using a wide range of interesting and messy datasets, including monthly airline flights by airport, TV series and paper shop sales. Are you ready to get your hands messy?

Develop the skills you need to clean raw data and transform it into accurate insights.

Develop the skills you need to go from raw data to awesome insights as quickly and accurately as possible.
