A broad introduction to machine learning and its implementation to solve real-world business problems. Includes end-to-end process of investigating data through a machine learning lens and how to extract and identify useful features that best represent data and evaluate the performance of different machine learning algorithms. Topics include: supervised learning (linear regression, logistic regression, support vector machines, k-nearest neighbors, decision trees, random forest, and gradient boosted tree); unsupervised learning (clustering, dimensionality reduction, kernel methods); reinforcement learning and adaptive control.
