About this Guided Project
Predictive modeling is a statistical technique that uses data, machine learning algorithms, and modeling techniques. Used by various industries and individuals, predictive modeling is a powerful tool to predict future events.
This guided project comprehensively introduces predictive modeling and its applications in data analysis and decision-making.
You will build and evaluate regression models using the machine learning scikit-learn library and use those models for prediction and decision-making. You will then create exciting visualizations using visualization libraries such as seaborn and matplotlib. Next, you’ll apply built-in methods to model and visualize the data. Then you will create a pipeline to process the data. And you wrap up your guided project by evaluating the effectiveness of your model.
