CO1 :: explain the basics of data preprocessing and its implementation by using R programming
Language.
CO3 :: make use of different Supervised learning techniques to predict numeric values
CO4 :: demonstrate the predictive models by using Neural networks and Support vector
machines
CO6 :: illustrate the techniques to evaluate the model performance and various methods to
improve it
