Suggested Course Practical List:

List of Experiments: based on the above contents.

1. Basic exercises on Python Machine Learning Packages such as Numpy, Pandas and matplotlib.
2. Given a dataset. Write a program to compute the Covariance, Correlation between a pair of
attributes. Extend the program to compute the Covariance Matrix and Correlation Matrix.
3. Given a set of sample points in N dimensional feature space. Write a program to fit the points
with a hyper plane using Linear Regression. Calculate sum of residual error.
4. Write a program that provides option to compute different distance measures between two points
in the N dimensional feature space. Consider some sample datasets for computing distances
among sample points.
5. Write a program to demonstrate the working of the decision tree based ID3 algorithm. Use an
appropriate data set for building the decision tree and apply this knowledge to classify a new
sample.
6. Write a program to implement k-Nearest Neighbour algorithm to classify the iris data set. Print
both correct and wrong predictions. Python ML library classes can be used for this problem.
7. Write a program to implement feature reduction using Principle Component Analysis
8. Write a program to implement the naïve Bayesian classifier for a sample training data set stored
as a .CSV file. Compute the accuracy of the classifier, considering few test data sets.
9. Given a dataset for classification task. Write a program to implement Support Vector Machine
and estimate it test performance.
10. Write a program to implement K means clustering algorithm. Select your own dataset to test the
program. Demonstrate the nature of output with varying value of K.
