This course empowers learners to apply predictive analytics techniques using the CART (Classification and Regression Tree) algorithm in the context of term deposit investment decisions. Structured around real-world marketing scenarios, learners will explore the end-to-end process of building decision tree models—from understanding business objectives and interpreting variables to developing, optimizing, and validating CART models.
Through practical video lessons, participants will gain hands-on experience in constructing binary classification models, tuning parameters, and using pruning strategies to avoid overfitting. The course emphasizes data preprocessing, model transparency, and interpretation of results for effective decision-making in financial marketing campaigns.
By the end of the course, learners will be able to describe data characteristics, construct classification models, and evaluate their performance on unseen data, in alignment with industry-standard practices.
This module introduces learners to the foundational concepts and practical implementation of the Classification and Regression Tree (CART) algorithm for predicting term deposit investment outcomes. Through step-by-step walkthroughs, learners explore the structure and logic behind CART, examine the variables involved in modeling, and gain hands-on experience in building, optimizing, and validating decision tree models. The module emphasizes model interpretability, parameter tuning, and best practices for applying predictive analytics in financial marketing contexts.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I purchase the Certificate?
When you purchase a Certificate you get access to all course materials, including graded assignments. Upon completing the course, your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
