Outline

As determined by the attendees of CarpentryConnect Manchester 2019, the proposed outline of this lesson is as follows:

Unsupervised Learning

I. Clustering

1. Kmeans

II. Dimesionality Reduction

1. PCA

2. TSNE

Supervised Learning

All models, objectives:

• What it is;
• when to use it and on what type of data;
• how to evaluate the fit, over/underfitting;
• computational complexity

I. Regression

1. Linear

2. Polynomial

• Overfitting/underfitting
• Test sets (how and why)

II. Classification

1. Logistic regression

• Over/underfitting can happen in regression too
• Accuracy
• Confusion Matrix
• Precision
• Recall

2. Random Forest

3. Neural Networks

• Evaluation
• Cross Validation
