About the Course

Welcome to this 2 hour long project-based course on Principal Component Analysis with NumPy and Python. In this project, you will do all the machine learning without using any of the popular machine learning libraries such as scikit-learn and statsmodels. The aim of this project and is to implement all the machinery of the various learning algorithms yourself, so you have a deeper understanding of the fundamentals. By the time you complete this project, you will be able to implement and apply PCA from scratch using NumPy in Python, conduct basic exploratory data analysis, and create simple data visualizations with Seaborn and Matplotlib. The prerequisites for this project are prior programming experience in Python and a basic understanding of machine learning theory. This course runs on Coursera's hands-on project platform called Rhyme. On Rhyme, you do projects in a hands-on manner in your browser. You will get instant access to pre-configured cloud desktops containing all of the software and data you need for the project. Everything is already set up directly in your internet browser so you can just focus on learning. For this project, you’ll get instant access to a cloud desktop with Python, Jupyter, NumPy, and Seaborn pre-installed....

This is a great way of learn through hands-on activities. The only inconvenient was the slowly connection to the Coursera project platform. Sometimes I couldn't work at all for a long time because my pointer got freeze. The idea of learning with the help of an instructor is excellent but it just needs a better implementation.

The course felt a bit too short and the time allotted for the guided project was barely enough to complete it in time leaving little to no room for thinking and rewinding the videos which made it a bit uncomfortable to take.

Course is amazing, got many concepts clear, learned a lot. Would also be great if more than one datasets are taken as excercise.

It's a good course for someone to try out his knowledge of the basic packages and the concepts and the maths behind PCA.

I do not recommend taking this type of course, take one and pass it, however after a few days I have tried to review the material, and my surprise is that it asks me to pay again to be able to review the material. Of course coursera gives me a small discount for having already paid it previously. It is very easy to download the videos and difficult to get hold of the material, but with ingenuity it is possible. Then I recommend uploading them to YouTube and keeping them private for when they want to consult (they avoid legal problems and can share with friends), then they can request a refund.

No in-depth explanations. The guy was just throwing around linear algebra jargons. Maybe he himself did not understand what they actually mean and why are they relevant here. Just a code copy paste course

Очень слабые объяснения. Всё как "магия".
