ABOUT THIS EPISODE
We talk about Decision Trees as one of the most basic statistical learning algorithms out there that all Data Scientist should know. Decision Trees are one of a few machine learning models which are easy to interpret which makes them a favorite when it is desired to understand the logic behind a certain decision. Decision Trees naturally handle all types of variables without the need to create dummy variables, no need to scale or normalize and they are also very robust against outliers.

Logistic regression is a very robust machine learning technique which can be used in three modes: binary, multinomial and ordinal. We talk about assumptions and some misconceptions. For example, people believe that because logistic regression fits only a linear separator in the expanded dimensional…
In this episode with talk about regularization, an effective technique to deal with overfitting by reducing the variance of the model. Two techniques are introduced: ridge regression and lasso. The latter one is effectively a feature selection algorithm.
In this episode I will try to convince you that Linear Regression is one of the most powerful Machine Learning algorithms. We will talk about common misconceptions, especially that Linear Regression is not able to model non-linear relationships. We also discuss how the myth of normality encourages …
We talk about the importance of inferential statistics in Data Science. Inferential statistics are a set of techniques used to make generalizations about a population from a sample. One of the tools used in inferential statistics is hypothesis testing. In this episode we provide a couple of example…
