COURSE DESCRIPTION
Focusing on the 3 areas programming, data management and machine learning, this course teaches the basics of Python in the context of data science applications.
From installation, the essential object types, and programming basics to the management of projects, the participants first get all the prerequisites to write applications in Python. After a general introduction data is read in and processed to be ready for analysis. Practical examples and the help of example data are making the topic easy to follow and hands on. Here, participants learn the most important techniques in the field of data management. The final program item of the course is the analysis and forecasting of data using machine learning techniques. First, the topic machine learning is theoretically introduced and then applied directly by the use of Python a classification scenario based on a sample data set.
The course focuses on the popular Python libraries numpy and pandas for data management as well as scikit-learn for analysing data using machine learning techniques.
Please note: The training addresses people who want to take their first steps in Python to use the language for data analysis. The course is an introductory event. No prior knowledge is required.
