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....

Some places the code used could have been simplified to be easier for the learner to understand. For example: (eigen_vectors.T[:][:])[:2].T was used in the course video but it can be replaced by eigen_vectors[:, :2]. The second one which I used is much simpler and cleaner to understand.

Thank You.

Did not focus on the mathematics part of PCA. The explanation could have been better and easy to understand.

The platform is really hard to use, the screen is small, and there're lags when I'm typing into the jupyter notebook on the virtual desktop.
