Machine Learning University: Decision Trees and Ensemble Methods Class

This repository contains slides, notebooks, and datasets for the Machine Learning University (MLU) Decision Trees and Ensemble Methods class. Our mission is to make Machine Learning accessible to everyone. We have courses available across many topics of machine learning and believe knowledge of ML can be a key enabler for success. This class is designed to help you get started with tree based models, learn about widely used Machine Learning techniques and apply them to real-world problems.
