Statistics in Machine Learning

Note : In life cycle of data science more then 60% of time goes into data analysis like feature engineering, feature selection.  Feature engineering means Cleaning data, handle missing values, unbalanced data, category features.   Python packages Pandas - read dataset read_csv, head, isnull, getdummies, drop, concat, Numpy - work with arrays matplotlib.pyplot - for visualization Seaborn - for visualization heatmap, countplot, boxplot, Handling Categorical features one hot encoding for nominal variables label encoding for ordinal variables Ways for finding Outliers Scatter plot Box plot  z-score IQR Correlation :  Strength of association between two variables  This is both ways  A and B = B and A Regression If one of the variable is dependent & other is independent variable Regression equation = Average value of 'y' is a function of x R Square Significance of F & P values     Covariance(cov) Quantify relationship between features, rand...

Cluster Analysis

Clusters Homogenous within Heterogeneous across Based on field of interest There is no Objective function No dependent variable Popularly called subjective segmentation Segmentation develops on its own based on values of the input variables This is called Unsupervised learning How is Cluster different from decision tree techniques Decision tree technique requires a clearly defined objective funtion this is based on identifying independent and dependent variables. Why clustering Find groups which has elements similar to other groups elements of different groups are dissimilar to each other Generate treatment for specific group  Examples/Business Scenarios In Marketing Leading edge shoppers - looking for technological new products Big brand shoppers Seasonal shoppers Value conscious shoppers Fashion consumer groups Group driven by trends Group interested in Fashion Group purchasing when necessary Cluster analysis as part of business strategy...
