3490 - Fundamental Modeling Techniques

Issued by GAIN Academy

Different business problems require different machine-learning techniques. In this two-day badge, you will learn and practice the fundamental modeling techniques that help you to solve most of these problems (continuous, categorical, and unsupervised predictions) and provide you with the necessary basis to handle more complex models in the future. Significant time is spent on evaluation metrics and interpretation of your model output.
