Case Study: Heart Disease
This lesson explores the core concepts of machine learning, the models available, and how to train them. We’ll take a deeper look at what it means to train a machine learning model, as well as the data and methods required to do so. We’ll also provide an overview of the most common models you’re likely to encounter, and take a practical approach to understand when and how to use them to solve business problems.
In the second half of this lesson, you will be guided through a series of case studies that will show you how to apply the concepts covered in this lesson to real-life examples.
