Overview
Engineering decisions are increasingly being made based on interpretation of large amount of decisions. This two-day interactive workshop will provide participants with the basic knowledge and skills in data analytics.
This 2-day workshop will focus on classification techniques to predict categorical and continuous variables. Important issues in classification like under- and overfitting, evaluation of model performance and feature selection will be covered. Hands-on practical will be conducted.
To aid companies in transforming their capabilities through their human capital, and support Singapore’s drive towards becoming a Smart Nation, this course is mapped to the Singapore Economic Development Board’s Singapore Smart Industry Readiness Index:
- Dimension 3 - Integrated Product Lifecycle
- Dimension 10 - Shop Floor Intelligence
- Dimension 11 - Enterprise Intelligence
What You’ll Learn
Multiple Linear Regression
- Fitting of linear regression model to dependent variable and interpreting model performance using p-value, R-square, adjusted R-square and residuals.
Logistic Regression
- Fitting of logistic regression model to dependent categorical variable and interpreting model performance with the confusion matrix.
Issues in Classification
- Feature normalization, data pre-processing, under- and overfitting, feature selection, regularization and cross-validation
Practical machine learning
- Using freely available graphical programming software to perform classification and linear regression tasks.
Who Should Attend
- For general audience with basic understanding of statistics and no background in programming who wants to learn more about data analytics and machine learning.
- For people with Engineering background and want to learn more about how data analytics is used in decision making.
Prerequisites
- Basic Statistics
- Course Journey: This course is part of a three courses series on data analytics. Upon completion of this course, students can sign up for Data Analytics for Engineer II.
