Guide for Linear Regression using Python – Part 2 This blog is the continuation of guide for linear regression using Python from this post. There must be no correlation among independent variables. Multicollinearity is the presence of correlation in independent variables. If variables are correlated, it becomes extremely difficult for the model to determine the true effect of X on…
Regression is the first algorithm we need to master if we are aspiring to become a data scientist. It is one of the easiest algorithms to learn yet requires understanding and effort to get to the master it. In this blog is a guide for linear regression using Python. It will focus on linear and multiple regression. We will learn the…
In this blog, we will be predicting NBA winners with Decision Trees and Random Forests in Scikit-learn.The National Basketball Association (NBA) is the major men’s professional basketball league in North America and is widely considered to be the premier men’s professional basketball league in the world. It has 30 teams (29 in the United States and 1 in Canada). The data…
Bitcoin has been in news quite a bit lately with the price soaring. It was named the top performing currency four of the last five year. And it’ price has the potential to hit over $100,000 in 10 years, which would mark a 3,483 percent rise from its recent record high. In this post, we are modeling Bitcoin’s Market Capitalization. Bitcoin…
In this article, I grouped some of the popular machine learning algorithms either by learning or problem type. There is a brief description of how these algorithms work and their potential use case. Regression How it works: A regression uses the historical relationship between an independent and a dependent variable to predict the future values of the dependent variable. It…

“What to do about mass unemployment? This is going to be a massive social challenge. There will be fewer and fewer jobs that a robot cannot do better [than a human]. These are not things that I wish will happen. These are simply things that I think probably will happen.” — Elon Musk The rapid growth in Artificial Intelligence is leading…
Yesterday I attended AIB Data Hack. It was my first one-day data hackathon. This notebook contains some of the lessons learnt from AIB Data Hack while working on a complicated, large dataset and little time. I have taken part in few Kaggle Competitions. However, I have to say the experience in a single day or 8 hours to be precise…
