Syllabus - What you will learn from this course
Import and Explore the Data
In this module you'll be introduced to the goals of the capstone project. You will complete the initial task of preparing a data set and performing an exploratory analysis.
Create and Evaluate Features
In this module you'll perform feature engineering. You'll create a response variable and investigate the relationships between features and the response variable.
Apply Machine Learning
In this module you will perform machine learning. You'll train and customize various models. Using validation data and common evaluation metrics you'll choose the most appropriate model for the problem.
Communicate Your Results
In this module, you'll learn a framework for creating a data science story and the importance of crafting your narrative for the intended audience, along with tips for creating meaningful visualizations.

TOP REVIEWS FROM DATA SCIENCE PROJECT: MATLAB FOR THE REAL WORLD
The capstone project gives full autonomy to the learner to execute the project in whichever way he deems good, which is a great learning step in the data science workflow
I just loved this whole specialization. Thanks, Mathworks and all instructors for these awesome courses. One of the best in Coursera. Looking forward to Deep Learning, CNN courses next from you.
Very good course, but it requires a lot more of time dedication compared to the previous courses.
A very good project on classification problems. Thank you so much!
