Join us for pizza, beer and a data modeling demo!

This is a demo session for Reece Heineke'sData Science with Python: Machine Learning course. The upcoming session runs 5 Sundays from March 12 - April 9 2017, from 1 - 5 pm. Click to learn more.

During this talk, Reece Heineke will demonstrate in one hour how you can use Python to explore financial time series data, apply a number of machine learning models and find the best fitting one.

Starting with a generated data set, we will evaluate ways to make the data quantitymanageable, explore the data visually, do some basic cleaning and ultimately usesupervised learning to determine which model is the most appropriate for the data.

Our Speaker
