Overview
This course builds on the previous course Python for Market Research. It introduces you to the topic of Machine Learning (ML), how to build predictive models using ML algorithms and to use them for inferencing, decision making and forecasting. Data pre-processing will be an integral part of this course.
The course will focus on learning by doing and so be prepared for hands-on work and exercises. Introductory videos will be made available to help the participant ease into the course.
This course will cover the following:
Data pre-processing
Machine Learning using Scikit-Learn
Building predictive models
Applications in Market Research and hands-on exercises
After this course, you’ll be able to:
Use different data pre-processing techniques for different kinds of data
Use the ML frameworks in Python like Scikit-Learn for model building
Work with different ML algorithms to build predictive models based on data
Measure and analyze mode accuracy and tweak models for better performance
Discuss applications of ML methods in Market Research
Who should attend?
Anyone who has attended the Python for Market Research course or anyone with intermediate-level programming knowledge in Python and interested in learning Machine Learning methods.
Prerequisites for the course are:
Complete the intro course Python for Market Research OR
Has an intermediate level of Python programming knowledge
High school-level mathematics (Algebra, etc.)
A lot of content - questions were very well addressed. Friendly instructor and an opportunity to meet live in Teams and ask questions. ESOMAR platform is really good. I liked that the material was provided in advance so that you can prepare everything and don't have to do it during the course and have the possibility to watch video recording afterwards.
