201: Basics and Terminology
Now we have a firm understanding of how business problems map to solutions we need to learn the techniques to deliver the solutions. This section introduces the basic terminology and concepts used in data science.

In this video we will talk about the problems encountered in data science. We'll also discover how it fits into a process, which you can used as a plan. Finally, we'll look at the impacts of a Data Science project which will help you avoid any common pitfalls.
101: Why Data Science?
This section introduces Data Science. It explains what it is and why we need it. We discuss some of the reasons for doing Data Science and provides famous examples from around the world.
Testing Model Robustness with Jitter
How can you be sure that your models continue to work in the future? One simple method of testing robustness is to add some noise to the test data. From the response we can infer whether the model is stable or unstable. See this Python Notebook to find out more.
Quantitative Model Evaluation
To be able to create models, you need to know how to compare them. In this python notebook you will learn how to compare models quantitatively. I.e. create summary statistics for your model's performance.
Qualitative Model Evaluation - Visualising Performance
You should always try and visualise your data science. Especially when measuring model performance because this allows you to easily compare and spot errors with models. This Python Notebook shows you visualise model performance.
Hierarchical Clustering - Agglomerative
Often data is produced by a process that has some natural hierarchy. If you have a clustering problem where this is true, hierarchical clustering works really well. Find out more in this Python Notebook.
Evidence, Probabilities and Naive Bayes
Probabilistic models are great at promoting good science. I.e. we're trying to model features to predict outputs. In this Python Notebook you will learn how to calculate bayes rule and use a naive bayes classifier.
Detrending Seasonal Data
A quick Python Notebook to show you how to use statsmodels to detrend seasonal data.
Visualising Underfitting and Overfitting in High Dimensional Data
Most of the time you have too many dimensions to simply plot the decision boundary of a classifier. This workshop investigates other ways to visualise under and overfitting in high-dimensional datasets.
