ποΈ Week 03 - Fundamentals of Classification
Theme: Supervised Learning
Welcome to Week 3!
This week, weβll look at classification in more details. Different to regression, where we predict a continuous outcome, classification is used to predict a categorical outcome. For example, we might want to predict whether an email is spam or not (a binary outcome) or the type of animal in a picture (a multi-class outcome).
The main algorithm we will use to cover this foundational topic is logistic regression, which is a type of generalized linear model (GLM).
There will also be some homework to prepare for week 4βs lab. Stay tuned!
