Descrição do Curso
Machine learning is the study and application of algorithms that learn from and make predictions on data. From search results to self-driving cars, it has manifested itself in all areas of our lives and is one of the most exciting and fast growing fields of research in the world of data science. This course teaches the big ideas in machine learning: how to build and evaluate predictive models, how to tune them for optimal performance, how to preprocess data for better results, and much more. The popular caret R package, which provides a consistent interface to all of R's most powerful machine learning facilities, is used throughout the course.

Regression Models: Fitting and Evaluating Their Performance
LivreIn the first chapter of this course, you'll fit regression models with
train()and evaluate their out-of-sample performance using cross-validation and root-mean-square error (RMSE).Welcome to the course50 xpIn-sample RMSE for linear regression50 xpIn-sample RMSE for linear regression on diamonds100 xpOut-of-sample error measures50 xpOut-of-sample RMSE for linear regression50 xpRandomly order the data frame100 xpTry an 80/20 split100 xpPredict on test set100 xpCalculate test set RMSE by hand100 xpComparing out-of-sample RMSE to in-sample RMSE50 xpCross-validation50 xpAdvantage of cross-validation50 xp10-fold cross-validation100 xp5-fold cross-validation100 xp5 x 5-fold cross-validation100 xpMaking predictions on new data100 xp - 2
Classification Models: Fitting and Evaluating Their Performance
In this chapter, you'll fit classification models with
