Machine Learning for Business Analytics

Machine Learning is an integral tool in a business analyst’s arsenal because the rate at which data is being generated from different sources is increasing and working on complex unstructured data is becoming inevitable. Data collection, data cleaning, and data mining are rapidly becoming more difficult to analyze than just importing information from a primary or secondary source. The machine learning model plays a crucial role in predicting the future performance and results of a company. In real-time, data collection and data wrangling are the important steps in deploying the models. Analytics is a tool for visualizing and steering data and statistics. Business analysts can work with different datasets -- choosing an appropriate machine learning model results in accurate analyzing, forecasting the future, and making informed decisions. The global machine learning market was valued at $1.58 billion in 2017 and is expected to reach $20.83 billion in 2024 -- growing at a CAGR of 44.06% between 2017 and 2024. The authors have compiled important knowledge on machine learning real-time applications in business analytics.

Ensemble Methods for Machine Learning - Gautam Kunapuli

Many machine learning problems are too complex to be resolved by a single model or algorithm. Ensemble machine learning trains a group of diverse machine learning models to work together to solve a problem. By aggregating their output, these ensemble models can flexibly deliver rich and accurate results. Ensemble Methods for Machine Learning is a guide to ensemble methods with proven records in data science competitions and real world applications. Learning from hands-on case studies, you''ll develop an under-the-hood understanding of foundational ensemble learning algorithms to deliver accurate, performant models. About the Technology Ensemble machine learning lets you make robust predictions without needing the huge datasets and processing power demanded by deep learning. It sets multiple models to work on solving a problem, combining their results for better performance than a single model working alone. This "wisdom of crowds" approach distils information from several models into a set of highly accurate results.

Mathematics for Machine Learning - A. Aldo Faisal, Marc Peter Deisenroth, Cheng Soon Ong

The fundamental mathematical tools needed to understand machine learning include linear algebra, analytic geometry, matrix decompositions, vector calculus, optimization, probability and statistics. These topics are traditionally taught in disparate courses, making it hard for data science or computer science students, or professionals, to efficiently learn the mathematics. This self-contained textbook bridges the gap between mathematical and machine learning texts, introducing the mathematical concepts with a minimum of prerequisites. It uses these concepts to derive four central machine learning methods: linear regression, principal component analysis, Gaussian mixture models and support vector machines. For students and others with a mathematical background, these derivations provide a starting point to machine learning texts. For those learning the mathematics for the first time, the methods help build intuition and practical experience with applying mathematical concepts. Every chapter includes worked examples and exercises to test understanding. Programming tutorials are offered on the book''s web site.
