Course details
Data Preprocessing: This unit involves cleaning, handling missing values, and feature scaling of the dataset to prepare it for modeling. It is a crucial step in machine learning as it ensures that the data is in a suitable format for analysis. •
Regression Analysis: This unit focuses on using regression models such as Linear Regression, Decision Trees Regression, and Random Forest Regression to predict prices. It covers the different types of regression models, their strengths, and weaknesses. •
Time Series Analysis: This unit deals with analyzing and forecasting prices over time using techniques such as ARIMA, Prophet, and LSTM. It is essential for understanding trends and patterns in price data. •
Feature Engineering: This unit involves creating new features from existing ones to improve the accuracy of the model. It covers techniques such as normalization, feature selection, and dimensionality reduction. •
Machine Learning Algorithms: This unit covers various machine learning algorithms such as Linear Regression, Decision Trees, Random Forest, Support Vector Machines, and Neural Networks. It explains how to implement and evaluate these algorithms for price prediction. •
Deep Learning: This unit focuses on using deep learning techniques such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) for price prediction. It covers the architecture, training, and evaluation of these models. •
Hyperparameter Tuning: This unit deals with optimizing the performance of machine learning models by tuning hyperparameters. It covers techniques such as Grid Search, Random Search, and Bayesian Optimization. •
Model Evaluation: This unit covers the evaluation of machine learning models using metrics such as Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Squared Error (MSE), and R-Squared. It explains how to choose the best model and interpret the results. •
Retail Price Prediction: This unit applies the knowledge gained from previous units to predict retail prices using machine learning models. It covers case studies and real-world applications of price prediction in retail. •
Big Data Analytics: This unit deals with analyzing large datasets using big data analytics tools such as Hadoop, Spark, and NoSQL databases. It covers the processing, storage, and visualization of big data for price prediction.
