Data Science with Python Part 1: Working with Pandas 

Pandas is the workhorse for manipulating, analyzing, tweaking, and visualizing data. Get started by learning the basics: Loading data, tweaking data, and aggregating data.

 

 

Data Science with Python Part 2: From trees to XGBoost

You may have heard that XGBoost is all you need. This tutorial will give you an overview of tree-based models. You will learn about their benefits, weaknesses, and how to leverage them. We will explore trees, random forests, and XGBoost.

 

What you need
