Decision Trees and Model Selection Course
COURSE ID: CIS534
Course Overview

In this course, you will be introduced to the classification and regression trees (CART) algorithm. By implementing CART, you will build decision trees for a supervised classification problem. Next, you will explore how the hyperparameters of an algorithm can be adjusted and what impact they have on the accuracy of a predictive model. Through this exploration, you will practice selecting an appropriate model for a problem and dataset. You will then load a live dataset, select a model, and train a classifier to make predictions on that data.

The courses Problem-Solving with Machine Learning, Estimating Probability Distributions, and

  • Learning with Linear Classifiers
  • are required to be completed prior to starting this course.
