We will focus on the most time-consuming part of the machine learning process which is the data exploration consisting from data visualisation and data wrangling serving for preparing and understanding your data.
The whole course is full of different data manipulation and visualisation hands-on exercises in three popular data science platforms:
1. open-source and very progressive programming language Python
2. open-source, highly intuitive and effective analytics platform KNIME
3. the most popular for people working with data MS Excel,
where we we will load data, transform them and visualise them.
So, what will we cover during this course?
Start with the KNIME analytics platform (installation and environment description)
