Handling Outliers in Python How to detect outliers Histogram Histogram also displays these outliers clearly. Scatter Plot If there are more than one variable and scatter plot is also useful in detecting outliers visually. Handling Outliers If we can’t rectify the outliers, then we may think of some the following methods to handle outliers. Doing …
In this post, let us explore: What is feature selection? Why we need to perform feature selection? Methods What is Feature Selection? Feature selection means selecting and retaining only the most important features in the model. Feature selection is different from feature extraction. In feature selection, we subset the features whereas in feature extraction, we …

Principal Component Analysis is an unsupervised data analysis technique. It is …
In this post, let us explore: Random Forest When to use Advantages Disadvantages Hyperparameters Examples Random Forest When to use Random forest can be used for both classification and regression tasks. If the single decision tree is over-fitting the data, then random forest will help in reducing the over-fit and in improving the accuracy. Advantages …
Time Series – Basic concepts Resampling: A) Downsampling In simple terms, it is like aggregating. For example: converting daily data to monthly data, or quarterly data to yearly data etc. In the following example, I have converted daily data to weekly data. B) Upsampling Here we increase the frequency in time series data. It is …
In this post, let us explore: What is the difference between Feature Selection, Feature Extraction, Feature Engineering and Feature Learning Process of Feature Engineering And examples of Feature Engineering Both Feature engineering and feature extraction are similar: both refer to creating new features from the existing features. Feature engineering refers to creating a new feature when we could …
