ποΈ Week 03 - Fundamentals of Classification
Theme: Supervised Learning
π§ This website is under construction. Pages will keep being updated in the next few weeks!
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 are logistic regression, which is a type of generalized linear model (GLM).
The topic of your formative (due on W05) will be released this week.
