• Principal Component Analysis – PCA follows the same approach in handling the multidimensional data.

The Data Science capstone project focuses on establishing a strong hold of analyzing a problem and coming up with solutions based on insights from the data analysis perspective. The capstone project will help you master the following verticals: 

• Extracting, loading and transforming data into usable format to gather insights. 
• Data manipulation and handling to pre-process the data.
• Feature engineering and scaling the data for various problem statements. 
• Model selection and model building on various classification, regression problems using supervised/unsupervised machine learning algorithms.
• Assessment and monitoring of the model created using the machine learning models.
