Module 1: Python – A Quick Review

In this module, you will get a quick review on Python Language. We will not going in depth but we will try to discuss some important components of Python Language. Please note, this is not meant to be a comprehensive overview of Python or programming in general

Module 2: Python for Data Analysis ( Pandas )

Pandas is a fast, powerful, flexible and easy to use open source data analysis and manipulation tool, built on top of the Python programming language.

Hands-on : Using Python Pandas Library 

 

Module 3: Data Visualization/EDA/Data Analysis ( Seaborn) 

In this part of the course we will discuss methods of descriptive statistics. You will learn what cases and variables are and how you can compute measures of central tendency (mean, median and mode) and dispersion (standard deviation and variance). Next, we discuss how to assess relationships between variables, and we introduce the concepts correlation and regression.

Module 4: Data Analytics / Machine Learning 

In this part of the course we will discuss one of the best known Machine Learning Library Scikit-Learn, a package that provides efficient versions of a large number of common algorithms. Scikit-Learn is characterized by a clean, uniform, and streamlined API, as well as by very useful and complete online documentation. A benefit of this uniformity is that once you understand the basic use and syntax of Scikit-Learn for one type of model, switching to a new model or algorithm is very straightforward.
