Course Description

Data classification models are the foundation of various systems in defense and industry. There are a large number of factors that can contribute to an increase or decrease in model performance and reliability. Before diving into the training and selection of your classification model, classification is the process of mapping a set of inputs to a discrete output variable. It is essential that you have an excellent foundational understanding of just what classification is as well as the workflow associated with selecting the best model for your application and needs. The goal is to get the machine learning model to learn a mapping function given a set of class-labeled input data inputs. In this MATLAB module, you will learn about data classification and how to implement it in MATLAB.

After completing this module, you can apply what you learned to any project or task involving data classification. This will enable you to create and implement different predictive models. These can be used in applications for things such as finance, advertising, weather/climate, and even medicine.
