About this course
This Python for Data Science course builds your ability to work with real datasets end-to-end, from data prep to model building. You’ll learn NumPy for fast array operations and Pandas for working with Series and DataFrames, including reading data from different sources and shaping it for analysis. You’ll also build a strong foundation in probability, distributions, and descriptive statistics, so you can interpret data correctly and explain results with confidence. In the EDA module, you’ll apply core techniques like preprocessing, encoding categorical data, scaling and normalization, imputing missing values, and handling outliers, so your datasets are clean, consistent, and ready for modeling.
You’ll then train and understand core machine learning methods used in practice. You’ll cover supervised learning with linear and logistic regression, decision trees, and ensemble techniques such as bagging, boosting, AdaBoost, gradient boosting, and random forests, as well as unsupervised learning with clustering and K-means. You’ll also build an Azure chatbot, learning what Azure is, what chatbots are, and how modern communication systems evolved. In the guided project, you’ll perform exploratory data analysis of the MovieLens dataset using Python, applying preprocessing and imputation, and creating clear visualizations to present insights. By the end of this python for data science and machine learning course, you’ll be able to clean and analyze data, select and apply the right ML approach for a problem, and communicate findings through analysis and visuals for real business and product decisions.
