Total Training is excited to announce the release of two new Machine Learning courses: Factor Analysis and Linear & Logistic Regression.

With nearly 7 hours of intensive instruction, these two online courses will help cut through the Data Analysis clutter. By the time you’ve completed these courses, you’ll understand Factor Analysis and its link to Linear Regression, as well as be able to build robust linear models and do logistic regression in Excel, R, and Python.

What’s Covered?:

Simple Regression:

• Method of least squares, Explaining variance, Forecasting an outcome
• Residuals, assumptions about residuals
• Implement simple regression in Excel, R and Python
• Interpret regression results and avoid common pitfalls

Multiple Regression:

• Implement Multiple regression in Excel, R and Python
• Introduce a categorical variable

Logistic Regression:

• Applications of Logistic Regression, the link to Linear Regression and Machine Learning
• Solving logistic regression using Maximum Likelihood Estimation and Linear Regression
• Extending Binomial Logistic Regression to Multinomial Logistic Regression
• Implement Logistic regression to build a model stock price movements in Excel, R and Python

Principal Components Analysis:

• Understanding principal components
• Eigen values and Eigen vectors
• Eigenvalue decomposition
• Using principal components for dimensionality reduction and exploratory factor analysis

Implementing PCA in Excel, R and Python:

• Apply PCA to explain the returns of a technology stock like Apple
• Find the principal components and use them to build a regression model

How can I get these courses?

• These courses are available as single title purchases:
  • Factor Analysis
  • Linear & Logistic Regression
• These courses are available as part of the Total Training All-Access Library.
• If you are a current All-Access subscriber, these courses are automatically added to your Library!

Stay Tuned for more Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence course releases over the next several weeks!
