Data Science Capstone Project 1
This Data Science Capstone project will give you an opportunity to
2
implement the skills you learned throughout this Program. Through 3
dedicated mentoring sessions, you’ll learn how to solve a real-world,
industry-aligned Data Science problem, from data processing and model 4
building to reporting your business results and insights. The project is
the final step in the learning path and will enable you to showcase your 5
expertise in Data Science to future employers.

Key Learning Objectives

Simplilearn’s online Data Science Capstone course will bring you through
the Data Science decision cycle, including data processing, building a
model and representing results. The project milestones are:

Data Processing - In this step, you will apply various data processing
techniques to make raw data meaningful.

Model Building - You will leverage techniques such as regression and

decision trees to build Machine Learning models that enable accurate
and intelligent predictions. You may explore Python, R, or SAS to
develop your model. You will follow the complete model-building
exercise from data split to test and validate data using the k-fold cross-
validation process.

Model Fine-tuning - You will apply various techniques to improve the

accuracy of your model and select the champion model that provides
the best accuracy.

Dashboarding and Representing Results - As the final step, you will

be required to export your results into a dashboard with meaningful
insights using Tableau.
