Distance-based Models: Implementing Distance-based Algorithms

Skillsoft issued completion badges are earned based on viewing the percentage required or receiving a passing score when assessment is required. Knowing the math behind machine learning (ML) opens up many exciting avenues. There are vast amounts of ML algorithms you could learn. However, the distance-based algorithms K Nearest Neighbors and K-means clustering are arguably the most popular due to their simplicity and efficacy. In this course, practice building a classification model using the K Nearest Neighbors algorithm. Build upon this algorithm to perform regression. Then, perform a clustering operation by implementing the K-means algorithm. And in doing so, explore the techniques involved in converging the centroids towards their optimal positions. Upon completion, you'll be able to perform classification, regression, and clustering using the KNN and K-means algorithms.
