The "Classification Analysis" course provides you with a comprehensive understanding of one of the fundamental supervised learning methods, classification. You will explore various classifiers, including KNN, decision tree, support vector machine, naive bayes, and logistic regression, and learn how to evaluate their performance. Through tutorials and engaging case studies, you will gain hands-on experience and practice in applying classification techniques to real-world data analysis tasks.
By the end of this course, you will be able to: 1. Understand the concept and significance of classification as a supervised learning method. 2. Identify and describe different classifiers, such as KNN, decision tree, support vector machine, naive bayes, and logistic regression. 3. Apply each classifier to perform binary and multiclass classification tasks on diverse datasets. 4. Evaluate the performance of classifiers using appropriate metrics, including accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, and ROC curves. 5. Select and fine-tune classifiers based on dataset characteristics and learning requirements. Gain practical experience in solving classification problems through guided tutorials and case studies.
This week provides an overview of classification as a supervised learning method. You will also learn the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm, understanding its principles and applications in classification tasks.

Access to lectures and assignments depends on your type of enrollment. If you take a course in audit mode, you will be able to see most course materials for free. To access graded assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience, during or after your audit. If you don't see the audit option:
The course may not offer an audit option. 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.
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. If you only want to read and view the course content, you can audit the course for free.
If you subscribed, you get a 7-day free trial during which you can cancel at no penalty. After that, we don’t give refunds, but you can cancel your subscription at any time. See our full refund policy.
