DATA ANALYSIS AND MACHINE LEARNING

Machine Learning with MATLAB

Course Highlights

This two-day course focuses on data analytics and machine learning techniques in MATLAB® using functionality within Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox and Deep Learning Toolbox. The course demonstrates the use of unsupervised learning to discover features in large data sets and supervised learning to build predictive models. Examples and exercises highlights techniques for visualization and evaluation of results. Topics include:

  • Organizing and preprocessing data

  • Clustering data

  • Creating classification and regression models

  • Interpreting and evaluating models

  • Simplifying data sets

  • Using ensembles to improve model performance

The aim of this course is to equip those who need to implement algorithms that iteratively learn from data to find hidden insights without being explicitly programmed where to look and to automate analytical model building.

Who Should Attend

This course is intended for engineer, researchers, data scientists, and managers, who are involved in the design of intelligent systems that can automatically produce models which can analyse bigger, more complex data and deliver faster and more accurate results.

Prerequisites

Attended Comprehensive MATLAB or equivalent experience using MATLAB
