About this course
Welcome to Classification and Planned Experiments. This course will first contrast regression models with classification models, which have broad application in machine learning. It will then introduce basic classification techniques, focusing on K-nearest neighbor, and logistic regression. You will examine data visualizations and see how setting hyperparameters or estimating parameters supports interpretation and effective classification. The course will then address another powerful field of applied statistics called experimental design, which is concerned with running controlled tests (experiments) to try to understand causal relationships between factors of interest. Several types of designs will be introduced, including ones that use computer modeling. You will learn the principles of experimental design and work through several examples to help you understand how to actually set up, run and analyze these experiments leveraging data.
What you will learn
- Learners will execute statistical classification techniques, apply experimental design principles & exhibit usage of approaches in causal learning.
