Explore how analytics turns data into insights, from descriptive analytics describing past patterns to predictive analytics using models like decision trees and random forests, guiding prescriptive actions with Python.
Predictive analytics uses historical data, data mining, and statistics with algorithms like decision trees, random forest regression, and neural networks to train on labeled data, forecast sales, and optimize inventory.
Learn the decision tree algorithm for classification and regression, with a practical example. Build trees from root to leaf nodes and evaluate splits using entropy and information gain.
Explore the random forest algorithm, an ensemble of diverse decision trees built via bootstrapping and random feature selection to improve classification and regression while reducing overfitting.
Install VSCode and Python from official sites, set environment variables, verify installation with Python in the terminal, and create a hello.py that prints hello world in VSCode.
Learn python variables and operators, including assignment and arithmetic, and print strings with new lines using backslash n and f-strings. Understand variable naming rules, comments, and indentation errors.
Explore bitwise, logical, and comparison operators in Python, learning binary representation, bitwise operations (and, or, xor, not, left shift, right shift), and how to apply comparison logic.
Learn Python data types, including int, float, complex, boolean, and str, and use the type function and type casting to convert values for data processing.
Learn how to define and call Python functions using def, pass numbers as parameters, and return values; explore arbitrary arguments with *args, keyword arguments with **kwargs, and lambda functions.
Learn tuples as ordered, immutable Python collections similar to lists, with indexing and counting. Convert to a list to update, then back to a tuple, and unpack with asterisk flexibility.
Explore Python string operations, including capitalize, lower, center, join, and format, to manipulate text. Apply methods like find, replace, translate, partition, split, isalpha, isdigit, zfill, and strip.
Explore how a while loop runs while a condition is true and stops when it becomes false. See how to index lists, print items, and use break to exit early.
Master Python for loops and list comprehension to iterate over iterables and dictionaries, using range, starting points, steps, and unpacking items, with loop-else and break behaviors.
Define an employee class in Python with attributes name, id, salary, and role; initialize via __init__, manage instance variables, and implement setter and getter to update and retrieve salary.
Examine inheritance, abstraction, and encapsulation in Python, including public, protected, and private variables, getters and setters, and name mangling. Apply super, overrides, and polymorphism in subclasses.
Explore Python decorators that extend a function's behavior without modification by wrapping it in a wrapper. See how to convert messages to uppercase before printing.
Learn how to build a reusable JSON file handler in Python, manage file paths with os.path, read and write text data, append content, and delete files safely.
Learn to implement a json file handler in Python to perform create, read, update, and delete operations for a book class, including serialization, storage path management, and duplicate checks.
Write and run the main.py script to drive a Python app, offering a CLI menu for CRUD operations on books and authors, with input validation and admin-style controls.
Build a Python random forest model to predict the winner between two pokemons using battle data, train with an 80/20 split, and evaluate with accuracy and F1 score.
Hi all,
Predictive analytics is a branch of advanced analytics that uses statistical techniques, machine learning algorithms, and data mining to analyze historical data and make predictions about future events or trends. It helps organizations to identify patterns, understand trends, and anticipate outcomes, which can lead to better decision-making and more efficient operations. Predictive analytics is used in a variety of industries, including finance, healthcare, marketing, and manufacturing. By using predictive analytics, organizations can gain insights into customer behaviour, optimize marketing campaigns, detect fraud, and improve supply chain management, among other benefits.
In this course, we will be covering all the important basics of Predictive analytics and then we will start with all the important concepts about Python and Object Oriented Programming.
Python is a general-purpose language used in major areas like data science, machine learning and web development.
This course covers almost all the essential concepts of Python. As a beginner, it is essential to have a basic clear and thorough understanding of the concepts. This course focuses on these points and we have tried our best to deliver it in a way which will help you to get the basics right as well as concepts clear.
The key concepts covered in this course are:
1. Built-in data types like list, dictionary, tuple, set, string with their functionalities.
2. List comprehension, lambda function and decorators in Python
3. Object-oriented programming in Python
4. Creating an application using all the learned concepts
5. Predictive Analytics
6. A predictive model using Random Forest Algorithm to predict a winner between two given pokemon.
Does this course cover all the concepts of Data Science and Web development?
I will be honest with you, the course does not cover all the concepts of Web Development (although we have different courses for that we will discuss it some other day), however, it does cover about basics of Data Science and Machine Learning.
