MACHINE LEARNING SPECIALIZATION
A careful combination of statistical theory, hands-on
coding and programming exercises to help students
understand and implement some of the most widely-
used and fundamental, machine learning algorithms.
By building regressors and classifier algorithms from
scratch, the student will go beyond applying machine
learning models to actually developing their own
models — and learn the right approach to fine-tuning
the model performance as well as evaluating model fit
against unseen data. Upon completion of the workshop,
the student will be well versed in an array of important,
versatile machine learning algorithms and equipped
with the right knowledge to apply them to future
datasets in their daily job.

show the necessary data preparation steps. To help you through the
exercise, consider the following questions throughout the document:
How do we correctly interpret the negative coefficients obtained from

How do we know which of the variables are more statistically significant
as predictors?
What are some strategies to improve your model?
Customer Segment Prediction
Applying what you’ve learned, present a simple R Markdown document

Compare the k-NN to the logistic regression model and answer the
following questions throughout the document:
What is your accuracy? Was the logistic regression better than kNN in
terms of accuracy? (recall the lesson on obtaining an unbiased estimate
of the model’s accuracy)
Was the logistic regression better than our kNN model at explaining
