Course Description This ’Factor Analysis’ online training course will help you understand Factor Analysis and its link to linear regression. See how Principal Components Analysis is a cookie cutter technique to solve factor extraction and how it relates to Machine Learning. Factor analysis helps to cut through the clutter when you have a lot of correlated variables to explain a single effect. In this course, you will follow along with expert instructors to learn about topics such as Mean andamp; Variance, Eigen Vectors, Covariance Matrices, and so much more!Course Highlights: Understand andamp; Analyze Principal Components Use Principal Components for dimensionality reduction and exploratory factor analysis Apply PCA to explain the returns of a technology stock like Apple® Build Regression Models with Principal Components in Excel, R, andamp; Python Course Requirements: No statistics background required. Everything is built up from basic math. The models are implemented in Excel, R, andamp; Python. Install these environments to follow along with the demos. Target Audience: Data analysts who want to move from summarizing data to explaining and prediction Folks aspiring to be data scientists Any business professionals who want to apply Factor Analysis and Linear Regression to solve relevant problems Length: 1 hr 45 min Example Video Course Outline Chapter 01: Introduction Lesson 01: You, This Course, andamp; Us!
