Week 4, Lab 1: Classification Model Comparison
Author: Matt Brems
Predicting Left-Handedness from Psychological Factors
We can sketch out the data science process as follows:
- Define the problem.
- Obtain the data.
- Explore the data.
- Model the data.
- Evaluate the model.
- Answer the problem.
We'll walk through a full data science problem in this lab. Specifically, we'll use a survey of psychological factors to predict whether or not individuals are left-handed. Along the way, we'll compare multiple classification models and see which best serve our needs.
