Getting Started with Machine Learning
Machine Learning (ML) is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) concerned with the development of algorithms and statistical models that enable computers to perform tasks without explicit programming instructions. ML algorithms are designed to learn patterns and relationships from data, allowing them to make predictions or decisions based on new or unseen data. The core objective of machine learning is to develop systems that can automatically improve their performance over time as they are exposed to more data, thereby enabling them to adapt to new situations and make informed decisions.

Linear algebra is essential for understanding and creating machine learning algorithms, especially neural networks and deep learning models. It is the mathematical foundation that solves the problem of representing data as well as computations in machine learning models. Linear algebra enables the representation of data points as vectors and allows for efficient computation of operations on these vectors. Linear algebra is used in machine learning algorithms such as neural networks, support vector machines, image processing, and principal component analysis

Data Visualisation
Data visualization is the graphical representation of data and information. It plays a crucial role in machine learning (ML) and data science by aiding in the understanding, interpretation, and communication of complex datasets. The primary objectives of data visualization in these fields are to explore, analyze, and present insights from data to facilitate informed decision-making.

Probability Distribution and Statistics
Probability distribution and statistics are fundamental concepts in the field of mathematics and are extensively used in various disciplines, including but not limited to, economics, engineering, social sciences, and natural sciences.

Linear Regression
Linear regression is a fundamental statistical method used in machine learning to model the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. This technique aims to find the best-fit line that minimizes the difference between the observed data points and the predicted values. Linear regression is widely used for predictive analysis, trend forecasting, and determining the strength of predictors. In this lesson, we will explore the basics of linear regression, including its assumptions, the least squares method for fitting a model, and evaluating model performance using key metrics.

The goal of data preprocessing is to improve the quality of the data and to make it more suitable for the specific data mining task.

Principal Component Analysis (PCA)
As the dimensionality of a dataset increases, the requisite volume of data needed to achieve statistically significant results escalates exponentially, giving rise to challenges such as overfitting, prolonged computational time, and diminished accuracy of machine learning models. This phenomenon, known as the curse of dimensionality, poses significant issues when dealing with high-dimensional data.

Project 1: Implementing Regression Techniques

Decision Trees and Random Forests
Decision trees are intuitive and powerful tools for both classification and regression tasks in machine learning. They work by splitting the data into subsets based on feature values, creating a tree-like model of decisions. Each node represents a feature, each branch represents a decision rule, and each leaf node represents an outcome. This method is highly interpretable and easy to visualize, making it popular for understanding complex data. Random forests, on the other hand, are an ensemble learning method that enhances the predictive performance of decision trees. By constructing a multitude of decision trees during training and outputting the mode or mean prediction of the individual trees, random forests reduce the risk of overfitting and improve accuracy. This technique leverages the power of multiple trees to achieve robust and reliable predictions. In this module, we will explore the construction, advantages, and practical applications of both decision trees and random forests, highlighting their role in solving real-world machine learning problems.

K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN)
K-Nearest Neighbors is a simple yet powerful supervised machine learning algorithm used for classification and regression tasks. It's considered a non-parametric and instance-based learning algorithm, meaning it makes predictions based on the similarity of input data points.

Support Vector Machines

SVMs can be used for a variety of tasks, such as text classification, image classification, spam detection, handwriting identification, gene expression analysis, face detection, and anomaly detection. SVMs are adaptable and efficient in a variety of applications because they can manage high-dimensional data and nonlinear relationships.

Clustering Fundamentals
Clustering in machine learning is a form of unsupervised learning where the goal is to partition a dataset into groups, or clusters, based on the similarity of data points within each group.
