"Introduction to Predictive Analytics and Advanced Predictive Analytics Using Python" is specially designed to enhance your skills in building, refining, and implementing predictive models using Python. This course serves as a comprehensive introduction to predictive analytics, beginning with the fundamentals of linear and logistic regression. These models are the cornerstone of predictive analytics, enabling you to forecast future events by learning from historical data. We cover a bit of the theory behind these models, but in particular, their application in real-world scenarios and the process of evaluating their performance to ensure accuracy and reliability. As the course progresses, we delve deeper into the realm of machine learning with a focus on decision trees and random forests. These techniques represent a more advanced aspect of supervised learning, offering powerful tools for both classification and regression tasks. Through practical examples and hands-on exercises, you'll learn how to build these models, understand their intricacies, and apply them to complex datasets to identify patterns and make predictions. Additionally, we introduce the concepts of unsupervised learning and clustering, broadening your analytics toolkit, and providing you with the skills to tackle data without predefined labels or categories. By the end of this course, you'll not only have a thorough understanding of various predictive analytics techniques, but also be capable of applying these techniques to solve real-world problems, setting the stage for continued growth and exploration in the field of data analytics.
Module 1 introduces you to predictive analytics, covering essential models such as linear and logistic regression. This is where you start to learn how to forecast future trends from historical data.

The University of Pennsylvania (commonly referred to as Penn) is a private university, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. A member of the Ivy League, Penn is the fourth-oldest institution of higher education in the United States, and considers itself to be the first university in the United States with both undergraduate and graduate studies.
When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
