The "Classification Analysis" course provides you with a comprehensive understanding of one of the fundamental supervised learning methods, classification. You will explore various classifiers, including KNN, decision tree, support vector machine, naive bayes, and logistic regression, and learn how to evaluate their performance. Through tutorials and engaging case studies, you will gain hands-on experience and practice in applying classification techniques to real-world data analysis tasks.

By the end of this course, you will be able to: 1. Understand the concept and significance of classification as a supervised learning method. 2. Identify and describe different classifiers, such as KNN, decision tree, support vector machine, naive bayes, and logistic regression. 3. Apply each classifier to perform binary and multiclass classification tasks on diverse datasets. 4. Evaluate the performance of classifiers using appropriate metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and ROC curves. 5. Select and fine-tune classifiers based on dataset characteristics and learning requirements. Gain practical experience in solving classification problems through guided tutorials and case studies.

This week provides an overview of classification as a supervised learning method. You will also learn the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm, understanding its principles and applications in classification tasks.

Frequently asked questions

To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.

When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.

Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
