Course Outline

Introduction to Predictive Modelling

This module shall define predicting, modeling and analyzing and discuss predictive modeling in the first half. The course then speaks about how these predictions can prescribe what tasks to perform to drive the motive of an organization.

Simple Linear Regression

This section begins by telling you what a model is. It then continues by helping you understand how simple linear regression is performed with assumption and simplification steps. You will also learn to model an equation based on the given scenario.

Best Fit Line

This section tells you how one dataset influences the other depending upon the requirements and time. It also talks about how the estimated data can predict the progress and output in the future, through testing and training, by describing a real-life business scenario.

Multiple Linear Regression

This section describes a supervised learning technique where an outcome results from multiple predictions. You will understand how the result is obtained by deriving the solution to the scenario through multiple linear regression methods.

Linear Regression Assumptions

Here in this module, you will understand some linear regression assumptions, such as the assumption of linearity and the assumption of normality of the error distribution. Lastly, you will understand various dimensions to plot the linear regression models. 
 

Concepts of Multicollinearity

At the beginning of this section, you will understand the concepts of structural and data multicollinearity. You will then learn how to solve the problems where the independent variables are not independent but correlated by working on sample problems.

Concept of R-squared

You will begin with understanding different linear regression models and continue learning how to work with gradient descent to find the best model. You will then understand how to find errors with the given data points and learn the concept of determinant coefficient later in this section.

Goodness of Fit - R-squared

In this section, you will learn how to use the R square method to solve the multiple linear regression problems by dividing the given dataset into training and testing data. You will also learn to model equations and judge if it is fit to describe the solution of a given problem.

Significance of Variables

This section tells you how a variable represents a particular part of the problem statement and how all other scenarios affect that variable. You will also learn how variables change depending upon the situation and how they are used to model an equation later in this section.
