Outline

As determined by the attendees of CarpentryConnect Manchester 2019, the proposed outline of this lesson is as follows:

Unsupervised Learning

I. Clustering

1. Kmeans

II. Dimesionality Reduction

1. PCA

2. TSNE

Supervised Learning

All models, objectives:

What it is;
when to use it and on what type of data;
how to evaluate the fit, over/underfitting;
computational complexity

I. Regression

1. Linear

2. Polynomial

Overfitting/underfitting
Test sets (how and why)

II. Classification

1. Logistic regression

Over/underfitting can happen in regression too
Accuracy
Confusion Matrix
Precision
Recall
