It compares the differences between modeling for prediction purposes and inference, exploring the trade-offs between prediction accuracy, model interpretability, and the bias-variance trade-off. Participants also gain exposure to key tools such as Pandas, NumPy, and scikit-learn. ## Learning Outcomes By the end of the module, participants will be able to: -- Implement and interpret the results from several supervised learning approaches for **classification and regression**. + +- Implement and interpret the results from several supervised learning approaches for **classification and regression**, using libraries like pandas, numpy, and scikit-learn. - Use **resampling methods** such as cross-validation and bootstrapping to select and evaluate models. - Determine the **requirements for reproducible machine learning** and ensure consistency across model implementations. - Analyze the **uncertainties and limitations** associated with model results and understand the **ethical implications** of applying these models in real-world decision-making. - Effectively explain the **trade-offs and considerations** for various statistical methods to both **technical** and **non-technical** audiences. +- Apply **pandas, numpy, and scikit-learn** for data manipulation, model implementation, and evaluation. ## Assignments
