Learn about the use of predictive models in Python through scikit-learn. Python is a popular language for scientific processing and machine learning. This course will introduce general modeling concepts in addition to concrete examples based on the scikit-learn library. Example usage of scikit-learn will illustrate how to fit and evaluate predictive models. Regression and classification […]
Data collected in time and/or space exhibit unique properties that require attention to draw proper conclusions from statistical analyses. In this workshop, students are introduced to statistical concepts that are particularly useful for analyzing spatial-temporal data. Using R and Python, students will learn the basic mathematics of spatial-temporal analysis via hands-on exercises, and will put […]
