Feature Engineering Case Study in Python
A Complete Introduction to Feature Engineering
Description
Course Overview
The quality of the predictions coming out of your machine learning model is a direct reflection of the data you feed it during training. Feature engineering helps you extract every last bit of value out of data. This course provides the tools to take a data set, tease out the signal, and throw out the noise in order to optimize your models.
The concepts generalize to nearly any kind of machine learning algorithm. In the course you'll explore continuous and categorical features and shows how to clean, normalize, and alter them. Learn how to address missing values, remove outliers, transform data, create indicators, and convert features. In the final sections, you'll to prepare features for modeling and provides four variations for comparison, so you can evaluate the impact of cleaning, transforming, and creating features through the lens of model performance.
What You'll Learn
What is feature engineering?
Exploring the data
Plotting features
Cleaning existing features
Creating new features
Standardizing features
Comparing the impacts on model performance
This course is a hands on-guide. It is a playbook and a workbook intended for you to learn by doing and then apply your new understanding to the feature engineering in Python. To get the most out of the course, I would recommend working through all the examples in each tutorial. If you watch this course like a movie you'll get little out of it.
In the applied space machine learning is programming and programming is a hands on-sport.
