    About the Course

    Case Study - Predicting Housing Prices In our first case study, predicting house prices, you will create models that predict a continuous value
    (price) from input features (square footage, number of bedrooms and bathrooms,...). This is just one of the many places where regression can
    be applied. Other applications range from predicting health outcomes in medicine, stock prices in finance, and power usage in
    high-performance computing, to analyzing which regulators are important for gene expression. In this course, you will explore regularized
    linear regression models for the task of prediction and feature selection. You will be able to handle very large sets of feature...

    Excellent professor. Fundamentals and math are provided as well. Very good notebooks for the assignments...it’s just that turicreate library that caused some issues, however the course deserves a 5/5

    An in-depth overview of the regression techniques and models. I think it went as deep into the concepts as I wanted it to go. Being a developer I found it quite understandable, and useful.Keep it up!

    Wow, just wow ! This course had a great scope, digging in on the concepts / methodologies that are crucial for regression, while at the same time discussing more general and always-present concepts of a machine learning task. A learning powerhouse ! I think i must pass it a second time, to really get into the details.

    Amazing course, I enjoined the talking about the linear model, regularization, gradient descent in how to optimize the weights . In special I enjoyed so much the OPTIONAL videos talking more details of some aspects of machine learning like bias and variance. I am very pleased to have completed this course. Thank you.

    Very practicum course, probably one of the best MOOCs course for Regression. I am from CS background and honestly speaking, I have passed hard time to catch all the concept. Nonetheless, great instructor and 5 stars for her! I believe she left no stone upturned to make the course understand for us. Thank all.

    I have finished this course and it was just great. Practical approach, great presentations, useful material. The course in fact require basic statistics and math, but the most fascinating thing about the course is how Carlos and Emily tend to explain really hard and cool material in very simple way. Great!

    This is an amazing tour about regression and machine learning. You will learn basic linear regression first and dig into some practical problem include overfitting, feature selection, cross validation, this is a great course for people who interested in machine learning and have basic programming skill.

    Es un curso excelente, puede ser a veces un poco denso pero tiene conceptos demasiado importantes que cualquier persona que desee incursionar en el Machine Learning debería conocer. Muchas gracias a los tutores por ser tan claros en sus explicaciones, realmente impactan bastante en nuestro aprendizaje.

    excellent course, made lots of regression understandable instead of just being a black box. The course is fairly hard in that the coding is a bit more abstract than is covered in the explanations and i had to watch some things several times. But extremely well explained. Many thanks for a great course

    Amazing course which intuitive knowledge base. I personally liked the analysis part of every concept and algorithm via curves. This interpretation is very rare in most of the courses. Thanks for a such a beautiful course. And even the implementation via python graphLab was a good practise to learn.

    Excellent lectures with great explanations for the concepts as well as the mathematical equations and derivations. The assignments and concrete implementations also really helped reinforce the same concepts and to get a better idea of how it can be used to solve real world problem. Really amazing!

    It is really a lovely course! One point, among many others, that really amazed me is the geometric explanation of ridge and lasso! For me, I think the course would be better if the content can be more mathematically challenging but it is only a suggestion and the course is already quite perfect.

    Course was very understanding and conceptually clear discussion.Assignments are also challenging but it will show you your patience level.Other courses show some algorithms but not implementation but trust me knowing implementation is very important as well as to know about the underline maths.

    The detail level of the regression covered in this course is absolutely necessary if you want to achieve an outstanding level in the Machine Learning area.

    The teacher is awesome and the capacity of making it simple for everyone is really from another planet! The best course I have taken so far!

    Actually implemented Gradient Descent, Ridge Regression, Lasso etc.!!! No other course out their teaches the stuff contained in this one. Each algorithm is first run using a library. I used Pandas and SciKit. Then, we implement it from scratch! So the level of knowledge you gain is compounded.

    This course gives deeper understanding of regression concepts. There were insights that are really helpful esp related to interpretation of coefficients. IMO, these insights are not obvious. Provides insights into different regression choices that are available along with their pros and cons.

    I like this course a lot. Frankly speaking, this is my first completed course on Coursera. The instructor is so good that I could easily follow everything in the class. Give lots of credits to the assignments. They're very easy to follow for me. I really enjoy working on them. Thanks a lot!!!

    Prof. Emily Fox is definitely enthusiastic, and gives clear explanations. The assignments add to the understanding of the material. While Graphlab, which is idiosyncratic is still used, explanations are given how to use Sci-Kit learn. A technical course, not only ideas - put also algorithms.

    Dr. Carlos Guestrin and Dr. Emily Fox are amazing. Needless to say, their way of teaching is absolutely brilliant and fun to learn, concepts which took me few days to learn now takes an hour or so, this is primarily due to their mastery on the subject matter and their lucid way of teaching.

    I found this course more useful as compared to the first one. I really like this. One suggestion here, I would like you to incorporate is that you must have given small project work at the end of this course. This course is more technical and it would be helpful if we do some live project.

    This course gives a good introduction to the Regression topics with adequate detail, avoding hard details and giving optional possibility to deepen key subjects. Course pace is suitable for non-subject experts.

    The practice based on Python/Turi Create is a useful introduction to ML coding.

    This is one of the hardest courses I've ever taken. The theory part reminded me of Differential Equations, which got rid of about half of my electrical engineering class. Then they ask you to program it in Python!! There's a lot of great theory and deep explanations and hands-on coding.

    This course really help you to understand regression from basic to different version of regressions like ridge and lasso Regression. very well explained and assignment design such that it not only test your knowledge but also help to solve any doubt regrading concept just learn by you.

    Thank you for a good lecture.

    The material was excellent and explanation was quite detailed and easy to understand.

    Some of the programming was a little bit tricky, but I was able to pull through.

    Thank you again for your efforts and I am looking forward to seeing you in the next course

    The top-down approach in this course is very interesting. They are presenting the theory very clearly. The course assignments are very well structured. I learned about regression algorithms and the theory behind it. Practiced to work with python and Turi Create and Sframes. Thank you

    I do not this regression :D

    Honestly, I can not thank Carlos and Emily enough given such a solid and casual understanding.

    I am looking forward to every new Session and ofcourse the Capstone. But still a long way there, which is good news, more time with Carlos and Emily... yeah!

    These Machine Learning classes have been fantastic so far, really enjoying them. Very good coverage of topics and challenging exercises to drive home the learning. The effort put into developing the classes has been superb and I look forward to the rest of the specialization.
