What you'll learn

  • How to select and compare different prediction models (classification regressors) for a real world dataset (FIFA 2018 Soccer World Cup Statistics).

  • How to extract the most important features, which impact the classifiers, in a model-agnostic approach, together with caveats.

  • How to get an insight into the way values of the most important features impact the predictions made by the classifiers.

About this Guided Project

Learn step-by-step

In a video that plays in a split-screen with your work area, your instructor will walk you through these steps:

  1. Setting the stage (Python Jupyter Lab web-based Server environment, importing the dataset and file to train and test the designated classification regressors as prediction models).

  2. Train, test and estimate the accuracy (confusion matrix) of a Decision Tree classifier.

  3. Train, test and estimate the accuracy (confusion matrix) of a Random Tree classifier as an alternative to the previous one.

  4. Extract a ranking list of the features, which are most important for each one of our prediction models.

  5. Extract and plot the impact of the values of selected important features on predictions being made by each one of our prediction models.
