  • Set up Python and learn about essential libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, and Matplotlib.

Week 2: Exploratory Data Analysis and Data Pre-Processing

  • Learn about Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) techniques to gain insights from data.
  • Handle missing values in datasets using various imputation methods.
  • Perform feature scaling and normalization to ensure fair comparisons between variables.
  • Deal with categorical variables by applying encoding techniques.
  • Understand feature engineering and selection for better model performance.

Week 3: Supervised Learning: Regression

  • Dive into regression analysis and its use for predicting continuous numerical values.
  • Implement simple linear regression to model relationships between two variables.
  • Extend to multiple linear regression to handle multiple predictors.
  • Apply polynomial regression to capture non-linear relationships.
  • Evaluate regression models using metrics such as Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Squared Error (MSE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), and R-squared.

Week 4: Supervised Learning: Classification

  • Explore classification algorithms used for predicting categorical outcomes.
  • Learn logistic regression, a widely used classification algorithm.
  • Implement the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm for both binary and multiclass classification.
  • Understand decision trees and ensemble methods like Random Forests.
  • Evaluate classification models using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score.
  • Handle imbalanced datasets using techniques like oversampling and undersamplling.

Week 5: Supervised Learning: Support Vector Machines (SVM)

  • Gain a solid understanding of Support Vector Machines (SVM), a powerful classification algorithm.
  • Implement linear SVM for linearly separable data.
  • Extend SVM to non-linear problems using kernel tricks.
  • Tune SVM hyperparameters for optimal model performance.

  • Understand hierarchical clustering techniques like Agglomerative and Divisive clustering.
  • Explore Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) for discovering clusters of arbitrary shapes.
  • Evaluate clustering results using the Silhouette Coefficient.

Week 7: Unsupervised Learning: Dimensionality Reduction

  • Understand the concept of dimensionality reduction and its importance.
  • Implement Principal Component Analysis (PCA) for reducing high-dimensional data.
  • Learn about t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbour Embedding (t-SNE) for visualizing high-dimensional data in lower dimensions.
  • Explore Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) for feature extraction.
  • Apply dimensionality reduction techniques to real-world datasets.

Week 8: Evaluation and Model Selection

  • Learn techniques for evaluating model performance.
  • Understand the importance of splitting data into training and testing sets.
  • Implement various cross-validation techniques like K-fold Cross Validation.
  • Perform grid search and hyperparameter tuning to optimize model performance.
