Look inside

In this liveProject, you’ll train and evaluate a machine learning model for diagnosing diabetes, and set up a pipeline for your model to run effectively. You’ll start by exploring sample data, processing features, and performing common feature engineering techniques for treating outliers or missing data. After dividing your dataset into training and testing data, you’ll train a logistic regression model using scikit-learn. You will then retrain the model with a different set of features. Finally, you’ll pick a model for scoring and build a scoring pipeline. You will test your scoring process on a scoring dataset.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.

book resources

When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
