  • Linear, multiple, polynomial, and tree-based methods
  • Regularization concepts and performance comparison
  • Interpretation of model fit, error patterns, and practical metrics

What You Will Study

  • Linear, polynomial, tree-based, and regularized regression workflows
  • Model comparison and fit analysis across prediction tasks
  • Metric-aware reasoning for practical regression use cases

Outcomes You Carry Forward

  • Select regression approaches with clearer reasoning
  • Evaluate predictive models with appropriate measures
  • Frame continuous-value prediction problems more effectively

Module Details

Requirements

  • Machine learning fundamentals and comfort with analytical datasets
  • Readiness to compare multiple models against the same task

Best Suited For

  • Students moving from broad ML exposure into specialized prediction work
  • Learners preparing for forecasting and quantitative decision tasks

Delivery Notes

  • Labs focus on side-by-side model evaluation rather than single-model completion
  • Students document tradeoffs between simplicity, accuracy, and interpretability

Phase Skills

This phase deepens applied machine learning through regression and classification, with emphasis on feature engineering, model comparison, and metrics such as precision, recall, F1, and ROC-AUC.
