In this course you’ll learn all the necessary libraries that make data analytics with Python. Learn the Numpy library used for numerical and scientific computation. Employ useful libraries for visualization, Matplotlib and Seaborn, to provide insights into data. Explore coding on real-life datasets, and implement your knowledge on projects.
By the end of this course, you’ll have embarked on a journey from data cleaning and preparation to creating summary tables, from visualization to machine learning and prediction.
The second course, Python Data Science Essentials, covers fundamentals of data science with Python. This course takes you through all you need to know to succeed in data science using Python. Get insights into the core of Python data, including the latest versions of Jupyter Notebook, NumPy, Pandas and scikit-learn. Delve into building your essential Python 3.6 data science toolbox, using a single-source approach that will allow to work with Python 2.7 as well. Get to grips fast with data munging and preprocessing, and prepare for machine learning and visualization techniques.
The third course, Practical Python Data Science Techniques, covers practical Techniques on Working with Data using Python. This video will begin from exploring your data using the different methods like data acquisition, data cleaning, data mining, machine learning, and data visualization, applied to a variety of different data types like structured data or free-form text. Deal with data with a time dimension and how to build a recommendation system as well as about supervised learning problems (regression and classification) and unsupervised learning problems (clustering). Perform text preprocessing steps that are necessary for every text analysis applications. Specifically, you’ll cover tokenization, stopword removal, stemming and other preprocessing techniques.
By the end of the video course, you will become an expert in Data Science Techniques using Python.
By the end of the course, you’ll learn the fundamentals of data science and gain an in-depth understanding of data analysis with various Python packages.
