Course Description

This course is PART 4 of a 4-PART SERIES designed to help you build a fundamental understanding of Machine Learning:

  1. QA & Data Profiling

  2. Classification

  3. Regression & Forecasting

  4. Unsupervised Learning

We’ll start by reviewing the Machine Learning landscape, exploring the differences between supervised and unsupervised learning, and introducing several of the most common unsupervised techniques: cluster analysis, association mining, outlier detection, and dimensionality reduction.

Throughout the course, we’ll focus on breaking down each concept in plain and simple language to help you build an intuition for how these models actually work, from k-means and apriori to outlier detection, principal component analysis, and more.

As always, we’ll introduce unique demos and real-world case studies to help solidify key concepts along the way. You’ll see how k-means can help identify customer segments, how apriori can be used for basket analysis and recommendation engines, and how outlier detection can spot anomalies in cross-sectional or time-series datasets.

NOTE: This is NOT a coding course, and doesn’t cover programming languages like Python or R. Our goal is to use familiar tools like Excel to demystify complex topics and explain exactly how they work.

If you’re ready to build the foundation for a successful career in data science, this is the course for you.

Student reviews

My experience with Maven Analytics as been fantastic! The completion of their Machine Learning courses and learning path marks a significant achievement in my personal journey. The courses were not only comprehensive but also incredibly engaging, making the learning process enjoyable every step of the way. Maven Analytics' commitment to providing top-tier educational resources shines through in every aspect of their platform. I'm grateful for the invaluable skills I've gained and the confidence I've built in tackling complex machine learning concepts. Thank you, Maven Analytics, for empowering learners like me to achieve our goals and thrive in the world of data analysis!

I am to have completely gone through the machine learning course. I hope to move unto where the statistical analysis tools learnt here would be fully utilized in both excel and python. I love the very simplified descriptions of topics here, making it look much less mathematical.
