Course Modules

The course modules cover a wide range of topics, from decision trees and random forests to lasso regression and k-means cluster analysis. Learners will gain practical experience and a deep understanding of machine learning concepts.

Decision Trees

This module introduces decision trees, covering the process of growing a decision tree, strengths and weaknesses, and building decision trees with SAS and Python. Additionally, learners will explore choosing between SAS and Python, working with codebooks and data sets, and running a classification tree.

Random Forests

The module focuses on random forests, explaining the process of growing a random forest, building random forests with SAS and Python, and validation and cross-validation. Learners will also gain hands-on experience with running a random forest and working with assignment examples.

Lasso Regression

This module delves into lasso regression, covering its definition, testing lasso regression with SAS and Python, data management, limitations, and running a lasso regression analysis. Learners will gain practical experience with SAS and Python code for lasso regression.

K-Means Cluster Analysis

Exploring k-means cluster analysis, this module covers its definition, running the analysis in SAS and Python, limitations, and working with SAS and Python code. Learners will gain hands-on experience with running a k-means cluster analysis and working with assignment examples.
