1. Introduction to Python and Jupyter Notebooks

What is Python?
Python is a high-level, interpreted programming language that has gained popularity in recent years
for its ease of use and readability. It is widely used in data science, web development, and artificial
intelligence, among other fields.

What is Jupyter Notebook?

Jupyter Notebook is an open-source web application that allows you to create and share documents
that contain live code, equations, visualizations, and narrative text. It is a popular tool among data
scientists for prototyping and exploring data.

Installing Python and Jupyter Notebook

Before you can start using Python and Jupyter Notebook, you will need to install them on your
computer. There are many ways to install Python and Jupyter Notebook, but the easiest way is to use
Anaconda, a Python distribution that includes Jupyter Notebook and many useful libraries for data
science.

To install Anaconda, follow these steps:

➢ Go to the Anaconda website and download the latest version of Anaconda for your operating
system.

➢ Run the installer and follow the instructions.

Getting Started with Jupyter Notebook

Once you have installed Anaconda, you can launch Jupyter Notebook by opening the Anaconda
Navigator and clicking on the Jupyter Notebook icon. This will open a web browser and take you to
the Jupyter Notebook dashboard.

The dashboard shows the contents of the current directory on your computer. You can create a new
notebook by clicking on the "New" button in the top right corner and selecting "Python 3" from the
drop-down menu.

Writing and Running Python Code

When you create a new notebook, you will see an empty cell where you can write Python code. To
run the code, click on the cell and press "Shift + Enter". The output of the code will appear below the
cell.
Here is an example of a simple Python program that prints "Hello, World!" to the screen:
print("Hello, World!")

When you run this code, you should see the output "Hello, World!" printed below the cell.

Basic Python Syntax

Python has a simple and intuitive syntax that is easy to learn. Here are some of the basic syntax rules
you should know:

Python statements do not need to be terminated with semicolons (;), but you can use them if you
want to put multiple statements on the same line.
Indentation is used to indicate blocks of code. You should use four spaces to indent each level of code.
Variables are created by assigning a value to a name. You do not need to declare the type of a
variable in advance.
Python has several built-in data types, including integers, floats, strings, booleans, and lists.
Here is an example of a Python program that uses variables and a list:

# This is a comment

x = 42 # Assigning an integer to a variable

y = 3.14 # Assigning a float to a variable
name = "Alice" # Assigning a string to a variable
is_student = True # Assigning a boolean to a variable

my_list = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] # Creating a list

print(x + y) # Adding two numbers

print("Hello, " + name + "!") # Concatenating strings
print(len(my_list)) # Getting the length of a list

When you run this code, you should see the output:
Copy code
45.14
Hello, Alice!
5
Control Flow Statements
Python has several control flow statements that allow you to control the flow of your program. These
include:

if statements, which allow you to conditionally execute code

for loops, which allow you to iterate over a sequence of values
while loops, which allow you to repeat a block of code while a condition is true
break and continue statements, which allow you to modify the flow of a loop
Here is an example of a Python program that uses control flow statements:

# This program prints the even numbers between 0 and 10

for i in range(11): # Loop over the numbers 0 to 10
if i % 2 == 0: # Check if the number is even
print(i) # Print the number

When you run this code, you should see the output:
0
2
4
6
8
10

Functions
Python allows you to define your own functions, which are reusable blocks of code that perform a
specific task. Functions can take arguments and return values.
Here is an example of a Python function that computes the factorial of a number:
# This function computes the factorial of a number
def factorial(n):
if n == 0:
return 1
else:
return n * factorial(n-1)
# Test the function
print(factorial(5)) # Should print 120

When you run this code, you should see the output: 120
 Conclusion
This manual provided an introduction to Python and Jupyter Notebooks. You learned how to install
Anaconda, launch Jupyter Notebook, write and run Python code, and use basic Python syntax, control
flow statements, and functions. With these skills, you should be able to start exploring Python on your
own and begin building your own programs.

2. Introduction to Scikit-learn and data preprocessing

In this lab, you'll learn how to use Scikit-learn, one of the most popular machine learning libraries for
Python, and how to preprocess data before training a machine learning model.

Prerequisites
Before starting this lab, you should have:
➢ Python 3.x installed on your computer
➢ Jupyter Notebook installed on your computer
➢ A basic understanding of Python syntax

Objectives
By the end of this lab, you should be able to:
➢ Use Scikit-learn to load a dataset
➢ Split a dataset into training and testing sets
➢ Preprocess data using Scikit-learn

Getting started:
➢ Open Jupyter Notebook
➢ Create a new notebook
➢ Import the necessary libraries by running the following code in a new cell:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
from sklearn.datasets import load_iris
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler

Loading the dataset

Scikit-learn comes with several datasets that you can use to practice and learn machine learning. In
this lab, we will use the Iris dataset.

Load the Iris dataset by running the following code:

iris = load_iris()
X = iris.data
y = iris.target

Splitting the dataset

Before training a machine learning model, it is essential to split the dataset into a training set and a
testing set. The training set is used to train the model, while the testing set is used to evaluate its
performance.

Split the dataset into a training set and a testing set by running the following code:

X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=0)

Preprocessing the data

Data preprocessing is a critical step in machine learning. It involves transforming the data to make it
suitable for a machine learning algorithm.

In this lab, we will use the StandardScaler class from Scikit-learn to scale the data.

Scale the data by running the following code:

sc = StandardScaler()
X_train = sc.fit_transform(X_train)
X_test = sc.transform(X_test)

Conclusion
In this lab, you learned how to use Scikit-learn to load a dataset, split it into a training set and a
testing set, and preprocess it using the StandardScaler class. These are essential steps in preparing
data for machine learning. In the next lab, we will cover supervised learning algorithms such as linear
regression and logistic regression.
3. Supervised Learning - Linear Regression

In this lab, we'll learn how to perform linear regression using Scikit-learn, a popular machine learning
library in Python.

Step 1: Importing Libraries

First, we need to import the necessary libraries. We'll be using Scikit-learn for linear regression,
NumPy for numerical operations, and Matplotlib for data visualization.

import numpy as np
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

Step 2: Creating the Dataset

Next, let's create a dataset for linear regression. We'll create a simple dataset with 20 data points
with a linear relationship between the input (x) and output (y) variables.

# Generate random data with a linear relationship

np.random.seed(0)
x = np.linspace(0, 10, 20)
y = 2 * x + np.random.normal(size=x.shape)

# Plot the data

plt.scatter(x, y)
plt.xlabel('Input (x)')
plt.ylabel('Output (y)')
plt.show()

This will generate a scatter plot of the data points with a linear relationship.

Step 3: Fitting the Linear Regression Model

Now that we have our dataset, we can fit a linear regression model to it using Scikit-learn. We'll use
the LinearRegression class to fit a linear regression model to our dataset.
# Fit the linear regression model
model = LinearRegression().fit(x.reshape(-1, 1), y)
# Get the slope (m) and y-intercept (b)
m = model.coef_[0]
b = model.intercept_
# Print the slope and y-intercept
print('Slope (m):', m)
print('Y-intercept (b):', b)

The fit() method fits the model to our data. We also use the reshape() method to reshape our input
data from a 1D array to a 2D array. This is necessary because Scikit-learn expects a 2D array as input.

After fitting the model, we can get the slope (m) and y-intercept (b) of the line using the coef_ and
intercept_ attributes of the LinearRegression object. We print these values to the console.

Step 4: Visualizing the Linear Regression Line

Finally, let's visualize the linear regression line using Matplotlib. We'll plot the original data points as a
scatter plot and overlay the linear regression line on top of it.

# Plot the data and the linear regression line

plt.scatter(x, y)
plt.plot(x, m*x + b, color='red')
plt.xlabel('Input (x)')
plt.ylabel('Output (y)')
plt.show()

This will generate a plot of the original data points and the linear regression line.

Conclusion
In this lab, we learned how to perform linear regression using Scikit-learn. We generated a simple
dataset with a linear relationship, fit a linear regression model to the data, and visualized the results.
Linear regression is a simple but powerful technique for modeling linear relationships between
variables.
4. Supervised Learning - Logistic Regression and KNN

Description
Logistic Regression is a commonly used algorithm in machine learning for solving classification
problems. In this lab, we will learn how to use Logistic Regression for binary classification using the
Scikit-learn library in Python.

Code
First, we will import the necessary libraries:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression
from sklearn.datasets import make_classification
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
Next, we will generate some synthetic data to work with:

X, y = make_classification(n_samples=1000, n_features=2, n_informative=2, n_redundant=0,

n_classes=2, random_state=1)
We can visualize the data using a scatter plot:
plt.scatter(X[:, 0], X[:, 1], c=y, alpha=0.5)
plt.show()

Logistic Regression Data

We split the data into training and testing sets:

X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=1)

Next, we create an instance of the Logistic Regression class and fit it to the training data:
model = LogisticRegression(random_state=1)
model.fit(X_train, y_train)
Finally, we can evaluate the performance of the model on the testing data using the score method:
score = model.score(X_test, y_test)
print("Accuracy:", score)

This should output the accuracy of the model on the testing data.
K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN)

Description
K-Nearest Neighbors is a non-parametric algorithm used for solving classification and regression
problems. In this lab, we will learn how to use KNN for classification using the Scikit-learn library in
Python.

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from sklearn.neighbors import KNeighborsClassifier
from sklearn.datasets import make_classification
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
Next, we will generate some synthetic data to work with:

X, y = make_classification(n_samples=1000, n_features=2, n_informative=2, n_redundant=0,

n_classes=2, random_state=1)
We can visualize the data using a scatter plot:
python
Copy code
plt.scatter(X[:, 0], X[:, 1], c=y, alpha=0.5)
plt.show()
KNN Data

We split the data into training and testing sets:

X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=1)

# Next, we create an instance of the KNeighborsClassifier class and fit it to the training data:
model = KNeighborsClassifier(n_neighbors=5)
model.fit(X_train, y_train)

Finally, we can evaluate the performance of the model on the testing data using the score method:

score = model.score(X_test, y_test)

print("Accuracy:", score)

This should output the accuracy of the model on the testing

Conclusion:

In conclusion, we have covered two popular supervised learning algorithms, Logistic Regression and
K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN), and how to implement them in Python using the Scikit-learn library.
Logistic Regression is a linear algorithm used for binary classification, while KNN is a non-parametric
algorithm used for both classification and regression.

Both algorithms require some pre-processing of the data, including splitting the data into training and
testing sets, and scaling the data if necessary. We also learned how to evaluate the performance of
the models using accuracy scores.

Overall, these algorithms provide powerful tools for solving classification problems in machine
learning. By understanding the concepts and being able to implement these algorithms in Python, we
can begin to explore more complex problems and expand our knowledge of machine learning.
5. Decision Trees and Random Forests

Introduction
Decision Trees and Random Forests are popular algorithms for solving supervised learning problems.
Decision Trees create a tree-like model of decisions and their possible consequences. Random Forests
use an ensemble of Decision Trees to improve the accuracy and stability of the model. In this lab, we
will learn how to implement Decision Trees and Random Forests in Python using scikit-learn library.

Dataset
We will use the famous Iris dataset for this lab. It consists of 150 samples of iris flowers, each with
four features: sepal length, sepal width, petal length, and petal width. The task is to predict the
species of iris flower from the given features.

First, let's load the dataset using the load_iris() function from scikit-learn:

from sklearn.datasets import load_iris

iris = load_iris()
X = iris.data
y = iris.target

The X variable contains the input features, and the y variable contains the target variable (the species
of the iris flower).

Decision Trees
Training a Decision Tree
To train a Decision Tree on the Iris dataset, we can use the DecisionTreeClassifier class from scikit-
learn:

from sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeClassifier

clf = DecisionTreeClassifier()
clf.fit(X, y)
The fit() method of the clf object trains the Decision Tree on the input features X and the target
variable y.

Making Predictions
Once the model is trained, we can use it to make predictions on new data. For example, to predict the
species of an iris flower with the following features:
new_data = [[5.1, 3.5, 1.4, 0.2]]
We can use the predict() method of the clf object:
predicted = clf.predict(new_data)
print(predicted)

This will output the predicted species of the iris flower.

Visualizing the Decision Tree

We can also visualize the Decision Tree using the export_graphviz() function from scikit-learn:

from sklearn.tree import export_graphviz

export_graphviz(clf, out_file='tree.dot', feature_names=iris.feature_names)

This will create a file tree.dot in the current directory that contains the Decision Tree in the Graphviz
DOT format. To visualize the tree, we can use the graphviz library:

!pip install graphviz

from graphviz import Source
with open('tree.dot') as f:
dot_graph = f.read()
Source(dot_graph)

This will display the Decision Tree in a graphical format.

Random Forests
Training a Random Forest
To train a Random Forest on the Iris dataset, we can use the RandomForestClassifier class from scikit-
learn:

from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier

clf = RandomForestClassifier()
clf.fit(X, y)
The fit() method of the clf object trains the Random Forest on the input features X and the target
variable y.

Making Predictions
Once the model is trained, we can use it to make predictions on new data. For example, to predict the
species of an iris flower with the following features:

new_data = [[5.1, 3.5, 1.4, 0.2]]

We can use the predict() method of the clf object:
predicted = clf.predict(new_data)

Conclusion
In this lab, we learned how to implement Decision Trees and Random Forests in Python using scikit-
learn. We trained models on the Iris dataset, made predictions on new data, and visualized the
Decision Tree. Decision Trees and Random Forests are powerful algorithms that can be used for a
variety of supervised learning tasks.
6. Supervised Learning - SVM

In this lab, you will learn how to use Support Vector Machines (SVMs) for classification problems using
the scikit-learn library. SVMs are a powerful and versatile type of supervised learning algorithm that
can be used for both linear and non-linear classification tasks.

1. Introduction to SVMs
Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are a type of supervised learning algorithm that can be used for
classification, regression, and outlier detection. In this lab, we will focus on the classification problem.
SVMs are based on the idea of finding the hyperplane that best separates the different classes of data.
The hyperplane is chosen in such a way that it maximizes the margin between the closest data points
of different classes. The data points that are closest to the hyperplane are called support vectors.

In scikit-learn, SVMs can be implemented using the svm module. There are two main types of SVMs:
linear SVMs and non-linear SVMs. Linear SVMs are used when the data is linearly separable, while
non-linear SVMs are used when the data is not linearly separable.

2. Linear SVM
In this section, we will implement a linear SVM using scikit-learn and apply it to a synthetic dataset.
First, let's import the necessary libraries and generate some data.

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from sklearn import svm, datasets
# Generate some random data
X, y = datasets.make_blobs(n_samples=100, centers=2, random_state=0)
# Plot the data
plt.scatter(X[:, 0], X[:, 1], c=y, cmap=plt.cm.Paired)
plt.xlabel('Feature 1')
plt.ylabel('Feature 2')
plt.show()

The make_blobs function generates a synthetic dataset with 100 samples and 2 classes. We then plot
the data using matplotlib.
The data is clearly separable using a straight line. Let's now fit a linear SVM to this data and plot the
decision boundary.

# Fit the SVM model

clf = svm.SVC(kernel='linear', C=1.0)
clf.fit(X, y)
# Plot the decision boundary
w = clf.coef_[0]
a = -w[0] / w[1]
xx = np.linspace(-5, 5)
yy = a * xx - (clf.intercept_[0]) / w[1]
plt.plot(xx, yy, 'k-')
plt.scatter(X[:, 0], X[:, 1], c=y, cmap=plt.cm.Paired)
plt.xlabel('Feature 1')
plt.ylabel('Feature 2')
plt.show()

The SVC function is used to create an SVM object with a linear kernel. We then fit the SVM model to
the data using the fit method. Finally, we plot the decision boundary using the coefficients and
intercept of the SVM model.

3. Non-Linear SVM
In this section, we will implement a non-linear SVM using scikit-learn and apply it to a synthetic
dataset. First, let's import the necessary libraries and generate some data.

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from sklearn import svm, datasets
# Generate some random data
X, y = datasets.make_circles(n_samples=100, noise=0.2, factor=0.5, random_state=0)
Plot the data
plt.scatter(X[:, 0], X[:, 1], c=y, cmap=plt.cm.Paired)
plt.xlabel('Feature 1')
plt.ylabel('Feature 2')
plt.show()
The `make_circles` function generates a synthetic dataset with 100 samples and 2 classes that are not
linearly separable. We then plot the data using `matplotlib`.

The data cannot be separated by a straight line. Let's now fit a non-linear SVM to this data using a
radial basis function (RBF) kernel.

# Fit the SVM model

clf = svm.SVC(kernel='rbf', gamma=1.0, C=1.0)
clf.fit(X, y)
# Plot the decision boundary
h = 0.02
x_min, x_max = X[:, 0].min() - 0.5, X[:, 0].max() + 0.5
y_min, y_max = X[:, 1].min() - 0.5, X[:, 1].max() + 0.5
xx, yy = np.meshgrid(np.arange(x_min, x_max, h),
np.arange(y_min, y_max, h))
Z = clf.predict(np.c_[xx.ravel(), yy.ravel()])
Z = Z.reshape(xx.shape)
plt.contourf(xx, yy, Z, cmap=plt.cm.Paired)
plt.scatter(X[:, 0], X[:, 1], c=y, cmap=plt.cm.Paired)
plt.xlabel('Feature 1')
plt.ylabel('Feature 2')
plt.show()

The SVC function is used to create an SVM object with an RBF kernel. We then fit the SVM model to
the data using the fit method. Finally, we plot the decision boundary using the predict method and
contourf function.

Conclusion

In this lab, we learned how to use Support Vector Machines (SVMs) for classification problems using
the scikit-learn library. We implemented a linear SVM and a non-linear SVM using the svm module
and applied them to synthetic datasets. SVMs are a powerful and versatile type of supervised learning
algorithm that can be used for both linear and non-linear classification tasks.
7. Clustering - K-Means

Introduction
Clustering is a technique in machine learning that involves grouping similar data points together. One
of the most popular clustering algorithms is K-Means, which is a simple and efficient method for
clustering data into k groups. In this lab, we will learn how to use K-Means for clustering data using
scikit-learn library in Python.

Dataset
For this lab, we will use the Iris dataset, which contains measurements of sepal length, sepal width,
petal length, and petal width for 150 iris flowers. Each flower is labeled as one of three species:
Setosa, Versicolor, or Virginica. We will use this dataset to cluster the flowers based on their
measurements.

You can load the dataset from scikit-learn library using the following code:

from sklearn.datasets import load_iris

iris = load_iris()
X = iris.data
y = iris.target

K-Means Algorithm
The K-Means algorithm works by first selecting k initial centroids, where k is the number of clusters
we want to form. Then, it assigns each data point to the nearest centroid and calculates the mean of
all data points in that cluster. This mean becomes the new centroid. This process is repeated until the
centroids stop moving.

Implementation
Now, let's implement K-Means clustering on the Iris dataset using scikit-learn. First, we need to
import the necessary libraries:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from sklearn.cluster import KMeans

Next, we need to initialize the K-Means model with the desired number of clusters. For this example,
we will choose k=3 because there are three species of flowers in the Iris dataset.
kmeans = KMeans(n_clusters=3, random_state=42)
We can then fit the model to the data using the .fit() method:
kmeans.fit(X)
y_pred = kmeans.labels_
We can visualize the clusters by plotting the first two principal components of the data (you can learn
more about PCA in Lab 19). Here's the code to plot the clusters:
pca = PCA(n_components=2)
X_pca = pca.fit_transform(X)
plt.scatter(X_pca[:, 0], X_pca[:, 1], c=y_pred)
plt.xlabel('PC1')
plt.ylabel('PC2')
plt.title('K-Means Clustering')
plt.show()

This will produce a scatter plot of the data points, where each point is colored according to its
predicted cluster.

Code
Here's the complete code for clustering the Iris dataset with K-Means:

import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from sklearn.datasets import load_iris
from sklearn.cluster import KMeans
from sklearn.decomposition import PCA
# Load the dataset
iris = load_iris()
X = iris.data
y = iris.target
# Initialize the K-Means model with k=3
kmeans = KMeans(n_clusters=3, random_state=42)
# Fit the model to the data
kmeans.fit(X)
# Get the predicted labels
y_pred = kmeans.labels_
# Reduce the dimensionality of the data for visualization
pca = PCA(n_components=2)
X_pca = pca.fit_transform(X)
# Plot the clusters
plt.scatter(X_pca[:, 0], X_pca[:, 1], c=y_pred)
plt.xlabel('PC1')
plt.ylabel('PC2')
plt.title('K-Means Clustering')
plt.show()

This code will produce a scatter plot of the data points, where each point is colored according to its
predicted cluster.

Conclusion

In this lab, we learned how to use K-Means clustering algorithm to cluster data into k groups. We
used scikit-learn library in Python to implement K-Means clustering on the Iris dataset and visualize
the clusters. Clustering is a useful technique in machine learning for discovering patterns and insights
in data.
8. Clustering - Hierarchical Clustering

In this lab, we will learn about hierarchical clustering, a technique for clustering data points into
groups based on their similarity. We will use the scikit-learn library to perform hierarchical clustering
on a dataset of customer spending habits.

Dataset
We will use the Customer Segmentation dataset from the UCI Machine Learning Repository. This
dataset contains information on the annual spending on various products by 440 customers of a
wholesale distributor. You can download the dataset from the following link:
https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Wholesale+customers

Requirements
To complete this lab, you will need to have the following libraries installed:
➢ pandas
➢ numpy
➢ matplotlib
➢ seaborn
➢ scikit-learn

Steps
1. Load the dataset
We will start by loading the dataset using the pandas library. Download the dataset from the link
above and save it as a CSV file named customers.csv. Then, load the dataset into a pandas DataFrame
using the following code:

import pandas as pd
# Load the dataset
df = pd.read_csv('customers.csv')
# Display the first few rows of the dataset
print(df.head())

2. Data preprocessing
Before we can perform hierarchical clustering on the dataset, we need to preprocess the data to
ensure that all the features have similar scales. We will use the StandardScaler class from scikit-learn
to scale the data.
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler
# Scale the data
scaler = StandardScaler()
X = scaler.fit_transform(df)

3. Hierarchical clustering
We can now perform hierarchical clustering on the scaled data using the AgglomerativeClustering
class from scikit-learn.

from sklearn.cluster import AgglomerativeClustering

# Perform hierarchical clustering
cluster = AgglomerativeClustering(n_clusters=5, affinity='euclidean', linkage='ward')
cluster.fit_predict(X)

In this code, we have specified that we want to cluster the data into 5 groups using the 'euclidean'
distance metric and the 'ward' linkage method.

4. Visualize the clusters

We can visualize the clusters using a scatter plot. We will use the seaborn library to create the plot.
import seaborn as sns
# Visualize the clusters
sns.scatterplot(x=X[:,0], y=X[:,1], hue=cluster.labels_, palette='deep')

This will create a scatter plot of the data points, where each point is colored according to its cluster
assignment.

Conclusion
In this lab, we learned how to perform hierarchical clustering on a dataset of customer spending
habits using scikit-learn. We loaded the dataset, preprocessed the data, performed hierarchical
clustering, and visualized the clusters. Hierarchical clustering is a powerful technique for discovering
structure in unlabeled data. It works by recursively merging similar clusters until all the data points
belong to a single cluster. This can be useful for applications such as customer segmentation, image
segmentation, and anomaly detection. By completing this lab, you should have a good understanding
of how to perform hierarchical clustering using scikit-learn. You can also experiment with different
clustering parameters, distance metrics, and linkage methods to see how they affect the resulting
clusters.
9. Clustering - DBSCAN

Introduction
In this lab, we will learn about Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN)
algorithm, which is a popular clustering algorithm used in machine learning. DBSCAN is particularly
useful when dealing with large datasets that have complex structures and noise.

The algorithm requires two input parameters: eps (the maximum distance between two points for
them to be considered as in the same neighborhood) and min_samples (the minimum number of
points in a neighborhood to form a cluster). The algorithm works by grouping together data points
that are close to each other and that have at least min_samples number of neighboring points within
a distance of eps.

Dataset
We will use the Iris dataset which is a commonly used dataset in machine learning. The dataset
consists of 150 samples of iris flowers, each with the measurements of the sepal length, sepal width,
petal length, and petal width. We will load this dataset using scikit-learn.

from sklearn.datasets import load_iris

iris = load_iris()
X = iris.data

DBSCAN Clustering
Now, we will use DBSCAN clustering algorithm to cluster the iris dataset. We will use the scikit-learn
library to perform the clustering.

from sklearn.cluster import DBSCAN

dbscan = DBSCAN(eps=0.5, min_samples=5)
dbscan.fit(X)
Here, we have created a DBSCAN object with eps value of 0.5 and min_samples value of 5, and then
fit the algorithm on the dataset X.

Visualizing the Clusters

We can visualize the clusters using Matplotlib library.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.scatter(X[:, 0], X[:, 1], c=dbscan.labels_)
plt.xlabel('Sepal Length')
plt.ylabel('Sepal Width')
plt.title('DBSCAN Clustering')
plt.show()

Here, we have plotted the sepal length on x-axis and sepal width on y-axis, and color-coded the data
points based on their cluster labels generated by the DBSCAN algorithm.

Conclusion
DBSCAN is a density-based clustering algorithm that can effectively cluster datasets with complex
structures and noise. It requires two input parameters eps and min_samples to be specified, and
generates clusters based on the density of data points. In this lab, we learned how to perform
DBSCAN clustering on the iris dataset using scikit-learn and visualized the clusters using Matplotlib.
10. Dimensionality Reduction - Principal Component Analysis (PCA)

Description
Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is a widely used dimensionality reduction technique in machine
learning and data analysis. PCA is used to transform high-dimensional datasets into a lower-
dimensional space while retaining as much of the original data's variation as possible. In this lab, we
will explore how to implement PCA using Python's Scikit-learn library.

Dataset
For this lab, we will be using the famous iris dataset. This dataset consists of measurements of the
sepal length, sepal width, petal length, and petal width of three different species of iris flowers:
Setosa, Versicolour, and Virginica. The dataset has 150 instances, with 50 instances for each species.
Steps
Load the iris dataset and split it into training and test sets.
from sklearn.datasets import load_iris
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
iris = load_iris()
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(iris.data, iris.target, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)

Standardize the data using StandardScaler. PCA is sensitive to the scale of the data, so it is important
to standardize the data before applying PCA.
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler
scaler = StandardScaler()
X_train_std = scaler.fit_transform(X_train)
X_test_std = scaler.transform(X_test)

Apply PCA to the standardized data.

from sklearn.decomposition import PCA

pca = PCA()
X_train_pca = pca.fit_transform(X_train_std)
X_test_pca = pca.transform(X_test_std)
Examine the variance explained by each principal component.
print('Explained variance ratio:', pca.explained_variance_ratio_)
Plot the cumulative variance explained by all principal components.
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
var_cumsum = np.cumsum(pca.explained_variance_ratio_)
plt.plot(var_cumsum)
plt.xlabel('Number of principal components')
plt.ylabel('Cumulative explained variance')
plt.show()

Choose the number of principal components to keep based on the plot. In this case, we will keep the
first two principal components since they explain more than 95% of the variance in the data.
pca = PCA(n_components=2)
X_train_pca = pca.fit_transform(X_train_std)
X_test_pca = pca.transform(X_test_std)
# Visualize the transformed data in 2D.
plt.scatter(X_train_pca[:, 0], X_train_pca[:, 1], c=y_train)
plt.xlabel('PC1')
plt.ylabel('PC2')
plt.show()

Conclusion
In this lab, We started by loading the iris dataset and splitting it into training and test sets. We then
standardized the data using StandardScaler and applied PCA to the standardized data. We examined
the variance explained by each principal component and plotted the cumulative variance explained by
all principal components. Based on the plot, we chose the number of principal components to keep
and visualized the transformed data in 2D. PCA is a powerful technique for dimensionality reduction
and can be useful for reducing the computational complexity of machine learning models. However, it
is important to choose the appropriate number of principal components to retain in order to balance
the reduction in dimensionality with the amount of information retained from the original data.
Overall, PCA is a valuable tool in the data analyst's toolkit for exploring and understanding high-
dimensional datasets.
11. Cross-validation and model selection

Objective
The objective of this lab is to introduce you to cross-validation and model selection techniques. You
will learn how to split your data into training and testing sets, perform k-fold cross-validation, and use
different scoring metrics to select the best model.

Prerequisites
Before starting this lab, you should have a basic understanding of supervised learning algorithms and
how to use scikit-learn to fit models to data.

Dataset
In this lab, we will use the breast cancer dataset from scikit-learn. The dataset contains 569 samples
with 30 features, and the task is to classify tumors as either malignant or benign based on the
features.

# load dataset

grid_search.fit(X_train, y_train)
print("Best Parameters:", grid_search.best_params_)
print("Best Score:", grid_search.best_score_)

Conclusion:
In conclusion, Cross-validation and Model Selection are essential techniques in machine learning that
help to improve the accuracy and robustness of our models. Cross-validation allows us to evaluate the
performance of our model on unseen data, while model selection helps us to choose the best model
out of multiple models with different hyperparameters.
In this lab, we learned about different types of cross-validation techniques, such as k-fold cross-
validation and leave-one-out cross-validation, and how to implement them using scikit-learn library.
We also learned how to use Grid Search and Random Search algorithms to find the best
hyperparameters for our model, which can significantly improve the performance of our model.

Overall, Cross-validation and Model Selection are critical steps in the machine learning workflow that
help us to build more accurate and robust models, and it is essential to carefully perform these steps
when building a machine learning model.
12. Hyperparameter Tuning with Grid Search and Random Search

Introduction:
Hyperparameters are the parameters of a machine learning model that cannot be learned directly
from the training data. Instead, they are set prior to training the model and can significantly impact
the performance of the model. Examples of hyperparameters include learning rate, number of hidden
layers, regularization strength, and kernel type. In this lab, we will learn how to tune hyperparameters
using Grid Search and Random Search algorithms to find the best combination of hyperparameters for
our model.

Dataset:
We will use the famous iris dataset from scikit-learn library for this lab. The dataset contains 150
samples with four features (sepal length, sepal width, petal length, and petal width) and three classes
of iris plants (setosa, versicolor, and virginica).

Code:
First, let's load the iris dataset and split it into training and testing sets:

from sklearn.datasets import load_iris

from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
# Load iris dataset
iris = load_iris()
# Split data into training and testing sets
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(iris.data, iris.target, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)

Next, let's define a support vector machine (SVM) model with default hyperparameters:

from sklearn.svm import SVC

# Define SVM model with default hyperparameters
svm = SVC()
Now, let's tune the hyperparameters using Grid Search and Random Search algorithms.
Grid Search:
Grid Search algorithm exhaustively searches over a predefined hyperparameter grid to find the best
combination of hyperparameters that gives the highest cross-validation score. In scikit-learn, we can
use the GridSearchCV class to perform Grid Search.
from sklearn.model_selection import GridSearchCV
# Define hyperparameters grid
param_grid = {
'C': [0.1, 1, 10, 100],
'kernel': ['linear', 'poly', 'rbf', 'sigmoid'],
'gamma': ['scale', 'auto']
}
# Perform Grid Search
grid_search = GridSearchCV(estimator=svm, param_grid=param_grid, cv=5, n_jobs=-1)
grid_search.fit(X_train, y_train)
# Print best hyperparameters and cross-validation score
print("Best Hyperparameters: ", grid_search.best_params_)
print("Cross-validation Score: ", grid_search.best_score_)

In the above code, we defined a hyperparameter grid with different values of C, kernel, and gamma.
We then created an instance of GridSearchCV class and passed our SVM model and hyperparameter
grid to it. We also specified the number of cross-validation folds (cv=5) and the number of CPU cores
to use (n_jobs=-1). We then fit the Grid Search object to our training data.
After fitting, we printed the best hyperparameters and the corresponding cross-validation score. The
best hyperparameters are those that gave the highest cross-validation score.

Random Search:

Random Search algorithm randomly samples hyperparameters from a predefined hyperparameter

space to find the best combination of hyperparameters. In scikit-learn, we can use the
RandomizedSearchCV class to perform Random Search.

from sklearn.model_selection import RandomizedSearchCV

from scipy.stats import uniform
# Define hyperparameters space
param_dist = {
'C': uniform(0.1, 100),
'kernel': ['linear', 'poly', 'rbf', 'sigmoid'],
'gamma': ['scale', 'auto']
}
# Perform Random Search
random_search = RandomizedSearchCV(estimator=svm
We can then fit our model using the best hyperparameters found by the search process:
# Fit model with best hyperparameters
model = RandomForestRegressor(n_estimators=best_params['n_estimators'],
max_depth=best_params['max_depth'],
min_samples_split=best_params['min_samples_split'])
model.fit(X_train, y_train)

Finally, we can evaluate the performance of our model on the test set:

# Evaluate model on test set

y_pred = model.predict(X_test)
rmse = mean_squared_error(y_test, y_pred, squared=False)
print(f'Test set RMSE: {rmse:.2f}')
This will print out the root mean squared error (RMSE) of our model on the test set.

Conclusion:
In summary, hyperparameter tuning is a crucial step in machine learning model development, and
Grid Search and Random Search are two common methods for finding the best hyperparameters for a
given model. In this lab, we have seen how to implement both methods using Scikit-learn, and how to
use them to tune the hyperparameters of a Random Forest regression model.
Lab 13: Model evaluation metrics

In this lab, we will learn about different evaluation metrics that are used to evaluate the performance
of our machine learning models. We will explore how to use scikit-learn library to calculate these
metrics for classification and regression models.

import pandas as pd
from sklearn.datasets import load_breast_cancer
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression
from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score, confusion_matrix, classification_report,
mean_absolute_error, mean_squared_error, r2_score
# Load the breast cancer dataset
data = load_breast_cancer()
X = pd.DataFrame(data.data, columns=data.feature_names)
y = pd.Series(data.target)
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)

We are using the breast cancer dataset from scikit-learn library, and splitting it into training and
testing sets using the train_test_split function. We will train a Logistic Regression model on this
dataset and evaluate its performance using different metrics.
# Train a Logistic Regression model
model = LogisticRegression()
model.fit(X_train, y_train)
y_pred = model.predict(X_test)

Now that we have trained the model and made predictions on the test set, let's calculate some
evaluation metrics.

Classification Metrics:

Accuracy:
Accuracy is the most common metric used to evaluate classification models. It measures the
percentage of correctly predicted instances out of all instances.
# Calculate accuracy score
acc = accuracy_score(y_test, y_pred)
print(f"Accuracy: {acc:.2f}")
Classification Report
A classification report provides a summary of different metrics for each class in a classification
problem. It shows precision, recall, f1-score, and support for each class.
# Calculate classification report
cr = classification_report(y_test, y_pred)
print(f"Classification Report:\n{cr}")

Regression Metrics:
Mean Absolute Error
Mean Absolute Error (MAE) measures the average absolute difference between the actual and
predicted values.
# Calculate Mean Absolute Error
mae = mean_absolute_error(y_test, y_pred)
print(f"Mean Absolute Error: {mae:.2f}")

Mean Squared Error

Mean Squared Error (MSE) measures the average squared difference between the actual and
predicted values.
# Calculate Mean Squared Error
mse = mean_squared_error(y_test, y_pred)
print(f"Mean Squared Error: {mse:.2f}")

R-squared
R-squared is a metric that measures the proportion of variance in the dependent variable that is
explained by the independent variables.
# Calculate R-squared
r2 = r2_score(y_test, y_pred)
print(f"R-squared: {r2:.2f}")
Another commonly used evaluation metric is the F1 score, which combines precision and recall into a
single value:
F1 = 2 * (precision * recall) / (precision + recall)

Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve

ROC curve is a plot of the true positive rate (TPR) against the false positive rate (FPR) at different
classification thresholds. It is useful to evaluate a model's performance when the class distribution is
imbalanced.
Scikit-learn provides a convenient function roc_curve() to calculate the ROC curve and roc_auc_score()
to calculate the area under the ROC curve (AUC).

from sklearn.metrics import roc_curve, roc_auc_score

# calculate ROC curve and AUC score
fpr, tpr, thresholds = roc_curve(y_test, y_pred_prob[:,1])
auc_score = roc_auc_score(y_test, y_pred_prob[:,1])
# plot ROC curve
plt.plot(fpr, tpr, label='ROC Curve (AUC = {:.2f})'.format(auc_score))
plt.plot([0, 1], [0, 1], linestyle='--', label='Random Guess')
plt.xlabel('False Positive Rate')
plt.ylabel('True Positive Rate')
plt.title('Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve')
plt.legend()
plt.show()

Confusion Matrix
A confusion matrix is a table that summarizes the model's predicted class labels versus the actual
class labels. It is useful to evaluate a model's performance in terms of the types of errors it makes.
Scikit-learn provides a convenient function confusion_matrix() to calculate the confusion matrix.
from sklearn.metrics import confusion_matrix
# calculate confusion matrix
cm = confusion_matrix(y_test, y_pred)
# plot confusion matrix
plt.imshow(cm, cmap=plt.cm.Blues)
plt.xticks([0,1], ['No Diabetes', 'Diabetes'])
plt.yticks([0,1], ['No Diabetes', 'Diabetes'])
plt.xlabel('Predicted Class')
plt.ylabel('Actual Class')
plt.title('Confusion Matrix')
plt.colorbar()
# add text to confusion matrix
for i in range(2):
for j in range(2):
 plt.text(j, i, cm[i,j], ha='center', va='center', color='white')
plt.show()

This will produce a heatmap of the confusion matrix, where the rows correspond to the actual class
labels and the columns correspond to the predicted class labels.

Conclusion
In this lab, we have learned about various evaluation metrics to measure the performance of
classification models, including accuracy, precision, recall, F1 score, ROC curve, and confusion matrix.
We have also seen how to calculate these metrics using scikit-learn's built-in functions and how to
visualize them using matplotlib. It is important to select appropriate evaluation metrics depending on
the problem and the specific needs of the application.
Lab 14: Model Interpretability with SHAP values

Introduction:
One of the most important aspects of machine learning models is interpretability. As models get more
complex, it becomes more challenging to understand how the model is making its predictions.
Interpretability is crucial for model transparency, especially in high-stakes applications such as
healthcare, finance, and legal systems. SHAP values are a powerful technique for interpreting the
predictions of any machine learning model. In this lab, we will learn about SHAP values and how to
use them for model interpretability.

Prerequisites:
Familiarity with Python and Scikit-learn library
Basic understanding of machine learning models and their evaluation metrics
Knowledge of feature importance in machine learning models

Objectives:
Understand the concept of SHAP values
Learn how to use SHAP values for model interpretability
Implement SHAP values in Python using the SHAP library
Visualize SHAP values using different plots

Dataset:
In this lab, we will use the well-known Boston Housing dataset, which contains information about the
housing values in the suburbs of Boston. The dataset consists of 13 features such as crime rate,
number of rooms, and accessibility to highways. Our objective is to predict the median value of
owner-occupied homes in thousands of dollars.

Implementation:
#Import the necessary libraries:
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import shap
from sklearn.datasets import load_boston
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestRegressor
#Load the Boston Housing dataset:
boston = load_boston()
X, y = pd.DataFrame(boston.data, columns=boston.feature_names), pd.Series(boston.target)
#Split the data into training and testing sets:
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)
#Train a Random Forest model on the training data:
rf = RandomForestRegressor(n_estimators=100, random_state=42)
rf.fit(X_train, y_train)
#Calculate the SHAP values for the test data:
explainer = shap.TreeExplainer(rf)
shap_values = explainer.shap_values(X_test)
#Visualize the SHAP values using a summary plot:
shap.summary_plot(shap_values, X_test)
#Visualize the SHAP values for a single observation using a force plot:
shap.force_plot(explainer.expected_value, shap_values[0,:], X_test.iloc[0,:])

Explanation:

We import the necessary libraries, including SHAP, which is a Python library for computing SHAP
(SHapley Additive exPlanations) values.
⚫ We load the Boston Housing dataset using the load_boston() function from scikit-learn, and we
create a Pandas DataFrame for the feature matrix and a Pandas Series for the target variable.
⚫ We split the data into training and testing sets using the train_test_split() function from scikit-
learn.
⚫ We train a Random Forest model on the training data using the RandomForestRegressor()
function from scikit-learn.
⚫ We calculate the SHAP values for the test data using the TreeExplainer() function from SHAP.
The shap_values() method returns a matrix of SHAP values for each observation in the test data.
⚫ We visualize the SHAP values using a summary plot. The summary plot shows the most
significant features that influence the predictions of the model.

Visualizing SHAP values

We can use the shap.summary_plot function to visualize the SHAP values of all the features in the
dataset. This plot shows the impact of each feature on the model output.
shap.summary_plot(shap_values, X_test, plot_type="bar")

SHAP summary plot

From the plot, we can see that alcohol has the largest impact on the model output, followed by
volatile acidity and sulphates.
We can also create a force plot to show the SHAP values for a specific instance. The force plot shows
how each feature contributes to the final prediction for that instance.
shap.initjs()
shap.force_plot(explainer.expected_value, shap_values[0,:], X_test.iloc[0,:])

SHAP force plot

From the force plot, we can see that the high value of alcohol contributes to a higher predicted
quality score, while the high value of volatile acidity has a negative impact on the predicted quality
score.

Conclusion
In this lab, we have learned about the importance of model interpretability and how SHAP values can
be used to understand the impact of each feature on the model output. We have also seen how to
use the shap library to calculate and visualize SHAP values for a trained model.
By understanding the contribution of each feature to the model output, we can gain insights into the
underlying patterns in the data and identify areas for improvement in the model.
Lab 15: Introduction to Time Series Data

Introduction
A time series is a set of observations acquired at various time periods. It is an important type of data
that is widely used in industries such as economics, finance, weather forecasting, and signal
processing. Time series analysis provides significant insights into the data's trends, patterns, and
dependencies, allowing for accurate predictions and informed decision-making. The purpose of this
paper is to present the notion of time series data, its significance, and the methodologies used to
analyze it.
Objectives
The following are the key goals of this report:
• Understanding Time Series Data: Investigate the essential aspects and characteristics of time
series data, such as trends, seasonality, and abnormalities.
• Preparing Time Series Data: Learn how to preprocess and clean time series data, including
how to deal with missing values, outliers, and varied sample rates.
• Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA): Investigate time series data in depth using visualization
techniques, detecting patterns, correlations, and anomalies.
• Time Series Modelling: Introduce several modelling strategies for projecting future values
based on historical data, such as ARIMA (AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average),
SARIMA (Seasonal ARIMA), and Exponential Smoothing.
• Evaluation and Validation: Using appropriate evaluation metrics, cross-validation procedures,
and statistical tests, assess the correctness and reliability of time series models.

train_data = data[:train_size]['value']
test_data = data[train_size:]['value']

# Fit ARIMA model

model = ARIMA(train_data, order=(1, 1, 1))

plt.plot(data['timestamp'][train_size:], forecast, label='Forecast')
plt.xlabel('Timestamp')
plt.ylabel('Value')
plt.title('Actual vs. Predicted Values')
plt.legend()
plt.show()

Explanation:
• Import relevant libraries: For data processing, analysis, and visualisation, we import libraries
like as Pandas, NumPy, and Matplotlib.
• Read time series data: Using the Pandas library, we read time series data from a CSV file.
• Data preprocessing: We preprocess the data by dealing with missing values and outliers.
Outliers are replaced with the mean value if they stray above a specified threshold, and
missing data are filled using the forward-fill approach.
• Time series data visualisation: We plot the time series data with Matplotlib to visualise the
trends and patterns in the data.
• ARIMA time series modelling: We fit an ARIMA model to the training data. ARIMA is an
acronym for AutoRegressive Integrated Moving Average, a time series analysis methodology.
• Anticipate future values: Based on the test data, we utilise the fitted ARIMA model to
anticipate future values.
• To evaluate the correctness of the ARIMA model, we compute the Mean Squared Error (MSE)
between the actual and predicted values.
• Plot actual vs. expected values: We plot the actual and predicted values to see how
effectively the ARIMA model predicts future values.

Conclusion:
Time series analysis is an effective tool for deciphering and forecasting patterns in time-dependent
data. We introduced the notion of time series data and its importance in a variety of sectors in this
study. We talked about the goals of time series analysis, such as data understanding, preprocessing,
exploratory data analysis, modelling, evaluation, and result interpretation. We also supplied a Python
code sample that shows how to apply time series analysis techniques using libraries like Pandas,
NumPy, and Matplotlib. Analysts may get useful insights from time series data, create accurate
predictions, and drive informed decision-making processes by employing these methodologies.
Lab 16: Time series decomposition

Introduction
Time series decomposition is a technique for separating a time series into its underlying components,
which are trend, seasonality, and residual (or error). It gives a methodical method for analyzing and
comprehending the distinct patterns found in a time series. We can identify long-term trends, cyclic
patterns, and random fluctuations by decomposing a time series, allowing us to create more accurate
forecasts and obtain insights into the underlying dynamics of the data. This paper covers the concept
of time series decomposition, its goals, and a Python code example demonstrating its implementation.
Objectives
The following are the key goals of this report:
• Understanding Time Series Decomposition: Understand time series decomposition and its
components, such as trend, seasonality, and residual.
• Time Series Decomposition: Discover how to breakdown a time series into its constituents
using standard decomposition methods such as additive and multiplicative decomposition.
• Visualizing deconstructed Components: Use visualization to understand the individual
contributions and patterns of a time series' deconstructed components.
• Analyzing Trends: Examine the trend component of the time series data to find long-term
patterns, growth, or decline.
• Seasonality: Identify and investigate the seasonal component to comprehend recurrent
patterns or cycles within the time series.

Lab 17: Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA)

Introduction
The Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) forecasting model includes autoregressive
(AR), differencing (I), and moving average (MA) components. ARIMA models can capture both the
autoregressive aspect of a time series, in which current values are determined by past values, and the
moving average effect, in which current values are determined by previous errors. ARIMA models
have been shown to be useful at predicting and analyzing time series data in a variety of fields. This
report introduces ARIMA, its goals, and offers a Python code example to demonstrate its
implementation.
Objectives
The following are the key goals of this report:
• Understand time series decomposition and its components, such as trend, seasonality, and
residual.
• Discover how to breakdown a time series into its constituents using standard decomposition
methods such as additive and multiplicative decomposition.
• Use visualization to understand the individual contributions and patterns of a time series'
deconstructed components.
• Examine the trend component of the time series data to find long-term patterns, growth, or
decline.
• Identify and investigate the seasonal component to comprehend recurrent patterns or cycles
within the time series.
• After removing the trend and seasonality, extract the residual component, which reflects the
random fluctuations or unexplained variability in the time series.

Lab 18: Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA)

Introduction:
Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) is an extension of the ARIMA model
that incorporates seasonality into time series forecasting. SARIMA models are particularly useful for
analyzing and predicting time series data that exhibit recurring patterns at fixed intervals, such as
monthly, quarterly, or yearly seasonality. By capturing both the autoregressive, differencing, and
moving average components along with the seasonal components, SARIMA models can provide
accurate forecasts and capture the complex dynamics of seasonal data. This report introduces
SARIMA, its objectives, and includes a Python code example to illustrate its implementation.

Objectives:
The main objectives of this report are as follows:
Understanding SARIMA:
Gain a conceptual understanding of the SARIMA model and its ability to capture both the seasonal
and non-seasonal components of a time series.
Model Identification:
Learn how to identify the order and seasonal order parameters of the SARIMA model based on the
characteristics and patterns observed in the time series data.
Model Estimation:

Explanation:
We import the required libraries, including Pandas, Matplotlib, SARIMAX from the
statsmodels.tsa.statespace.sarimax module, and mean_squared_error from the sklearn.metrics
module.
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from statsmodels.tsa.statespace.sarimax import SARIMAX
from sklearn.metrics import mean_squared_error
We read the time series data from a CSV file using Pandas.
# Read time series data from a CSV file
data = pd.read_csv('time_series_data.csv')

We set the 'timestamp' column as the index of the DataFrame after converting it to a datetime object.
# Set the 'timestamp' column as the index
data['timestamp'] = pd.to_datetime(data['timestamp'])
data.set_index('timestamp', inplace=True)

We split the time series data into training and testing sets, where the training set contains 80% of the
data.
# Split data into training and testing sets
train_size = int(len(data) * 0.8)
train_data = data[:train_size]['value']
test_data = data[train_size:]['value']

We fit a SARIMA model to the training data with the specified order and seasonal order parameters of
(1, 1, 1) and (1, 1, 1, 12), respectively.
# Fit SARIMA model
model = SARIMAX(train_data, order=(1, 1, 1), seasonal_order=(1, 1, 1, 12))
model_fit = model.fit()

We use the fitted SARIMA model to forecast future values based on the testing set, considering both
the seasonal and non-seasonal components.
# Forecast future values
forecast = model_fit.predict(start=len(train_data), end=len(train_data) + len(test_data) - 1)

We calculate the Mean Squared Error (MSE) between the actual and predicted values to evaluate the
accuracy of the SARIMA model.
# Evaluate model performance
mse = mean_squared_error(test_data, forecast)
print("Mean Squared Error:", mse)

We plot the actual and predicted values to visualize how well the SARIMA model performs in
forecasting future values.
# Visualize actual vs. predicted values
plt.plot(data.index[train_size:], test_data, label='Actual')
plt.plot(data.index[train_size:], forecast, label='Forecast')
plt.xlabel('Timestamp')
plt.ylabel('Value')
plt.title('Actual vs. Predicted Values')

plt.show()

Conclusion:
Seasonal Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (SARIMA) is a powerful model for analyzing and
forecasting time series data with seasonal patterns. In this report, we introduced the concept of

Lab 20: Introduction to Neural Networks

Introduction:
Neural networks are a class of machine learning algorithms inspired by the structure and functionality
of the human brain. They have revolutionized the field of artificial intelligence and are widely used for
solving complex problems in various domains. Neural networks are powerful models capable of
learning and recognizing patterns, making predictions, and making informed decisions based on input
data. This report provides an introduction to neural networks, highlights their importance, explains
their functioning, provides a step-by-step explanation, presents a Python code example, and
concludes with key insights.

Importance of Neural Networks:

Neural networks play a vital role in numerous fields and have several key importance:
• Complex Pattern Recognition: Neural networks excel at recognizing complex patterns and
capturing intricate relationships in data. They have been successfully applied to tasks such as
image classification, object detection, and speech recognition.
• Non-linear Data Mapping: They can effectively model and capture non-linear relationships
between input and output variables. This is essential for solving real-world problems that
exhibit non-linear behavior, which many traditional algorithms struggle to handle.
• Feature Learning: Neural networks have the capability to automatically learn relevant
features from raw data. This reduces the need for manual feature engineering and allows for
end-to-end learning, where the network learns both the feature representation and the
prediction simultaneously.
• Adaptability and Generalization: Neural networks have the ability to adapt and generalize
from the training data to make accurate predictions on unseen data. This flexibility enables
them to handle a wide range of problem domains and adapt to changing conditions.

Explanation and Steps of Neural Networks:

Data Preparation:
Prepare the input and output data by preprocessing, normalizing, and splitting it into training and
testing sets.
import numpy as np
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler
import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow.keras import layers
# Step 1: Data Preparation
# Load and preprocess the data
data = np.load('data.npy')
X = data[:, :-1]
y = data[:, -1]
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)
scaler = StandardScaler()
X_train = scaler.fit_transform(X_train)
X_test = scaler.transform(X_test)

Network Architecture:
Determine the architecture of the neural network, including the number of layers, the number of
neurons in each layer, and the activation functions to be used.

model = tf.keras.Sequential([
layers.Dense(64, activation='relu', input_shape=(X_train.shape[1],)),
layers.Dense(64, activation='relu'),
layers.Dense(1, activation='sigmoid')
])

Compile the Model:

Initialize the weights and biases of the neural network randomly or using specific initialization
techniques. Perform forward propagation by feeding the input data through the network, applying
the activation functions, and computing the output of each layer. Calculate the loss or error between
the predicted output and the true output using an appropriate loss function such as mean squared
error (MSE) or cross-entropy loss. Perform backward propagation to update the weights and biases of
the network based on the calculated loss. This involves calculating gradients and using optimization
algorithms such as gradient descent or its variants.

# Step 3: Compile the Model

model.compile(optimizer='adam', loss='binary_crossentropy', metrics=['accuracy'])

Training:
Iterate the forward and backward propagation steps on the training data for multiple epochs,
continuously updating the parameters to minimize the loss.
# Step 4: Training
model.fit(X_train, y_train, epochs=10, batch_size=32)

Testing and Evaluation:

Test the trained neural network on the testing data to evaluate its performance. Use evaluation
metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, or mean squared error to assess the model's effectiveness.
# Step 5: Testing and Evaluation
loss, accuracy = model.evaluate(X_test, y_test)
print('Test Loss:', loss)
print('Test Accuracy:', accuracy)

Explanation:
• The code begins by importing the required libraries and modules, including numpy, scikit-
learn, and TensorFlow.
• The input data is loaded and split into training and testing sets. StandardScaler is used to
scale the input data.
• A sequential model is defined using the Keras API. It consists of densely connected layers

intelligence. In this report, we introduced neural networks, highlighted their importance, and
provided a step-by-step explanation of their functioning. We also presented a Python code example
that demonstrates the implementation of a neural network using the TensorFlow library. Neural

predictions. They offer adaptability, non-linear mapping capabilities, and the ability to learn relevant
features from data. With their wide range of applications and continual advancements, neural
networks continue to play a crucial role in various domains and drive advancements in machine
learning and AI.

• Model Evaluation: The trained model is evaluated on the testing data using the evaluate()
function, and the loss and accuracy metrics are printed.

Conclusion:
Sentiment analysis is a powerful NLP task, and Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) provide an effective
approach for analyzing sequential data like text. In this project, we built an end-to-end sentiment
analysis system using RNNs. We prepared the dataset, performed text preprocessing, defined the
RNN model architecture, trained the model, and evaluated its performance. The model achieved
reasonable accuracy in classifying sentiment. Sentiment analysis with RNNs has various applications,
such as customer feedback analysis, social media monitoring, and market sentiment analysis. It allows
us to gain insights into public opinion and sentiment, enabling better decision-making and improved
user experiences.
Lab 30: Named Entity Recognition (NER) with Spacy

Introduction:
Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a natural language processing (NLP) task that involves identifying
and classifying named entities in text into predefined categories such as person names, organizations,
locations, dates, etc. NER plays a crucial role in information extraction, question answering systems,
and text understanding. Spacy is a popular NLP library that provides efficient tools for NER. In this
project, we will build an end-to-end NER system using Spacy to extract named entities from text.

Objectives of Named Entity Recognition (NER) with Spacy:

The main objectives of this project are as follows:

Understanding Named Entity Recognition:

Prepare a dataset with labeled text containing named entities for training and evaluation.

Model Training:
Train a Spacy NER model on the labeled dataset to recognize named entities.

Model Evaluation:
Evaluate the performance of the trained NER model on a test dataset and analyze the results.

Code:

from spacy import displacy

# Step 1: Dataset Preparation

# Prepare a labeled dataset with text and corresponding named entity annotations.
# Step 2: Model Training
# Load the pre-trained English model in Spacy
nlp = spacy.load("en_core_web_sm")

# Add entity annotations to the pre-trained model

ner = nlp.get_pipe("ner")

# Train the NER model with the labeled dataset

TRAIN_DATA = [...] # List of tuples containing (text, entity annotations)
for text, annotations in TRAIN_DATA:
for ent in annotations.get("entities"):
ner.add_label(ent[2]) # Add the entity labels to the NER model
doc = nlp.make_doc(text)
gold = spacy.gold.GoldParse(doc, entities=annotations.get("entities"))
ner.update([doc], [gold], drop=0.5, sgd=None) # Update the NER model with the training data

# Step 3: Model Evaluation

# Evaluate the performance of the trained NER model on a test dataset
TEST_DATA = [...] # List of tuples containing (text, entity annotations)
for text, annotations in TEST_DATA:
doc = nlp(text)
for ent in doc.ents:
print("Text:", ent.text)
print("Entity Label:", ent.label_)

# Step 4: Visualization
# Visualize the named entities in text using displacy
displacy.render(doc, style="ent", jupyter=True)

Explanation of the Code:

Dataset Preparation:
Prepare a labeled dataset with text and corresponding named entity annotations. The annotations
should include the start and end positions of the named entities in the text, along with their entity
labels.

Model Training:
The pre-trained English model in Spacy is loaded using spacy.load(). The NER component of the model
is accessed using nlp.get_pipe("ner"). Entity labels are added to the NER model using ner.add_label().
The NER model is then trained with the labeled dataset using ner.update().

Model Evaluation:
The performance of the trained NER model is evaluated on a test dataset. Each text is processed using
nlp(text), and the named entities are accessed using doc.ents. The named entities' text and entity
labels are printed.

Visualization:
The named entities in the text can be visualized using displacy.render(). The style="ent" argument
specifies the entity visualization style, and jupyter=True allows rendering in Jupyter notebooks.

Conclusion:
Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a fundamental task in natural language processing for extracting
named entities from text. In this project, we used Spacy, a popular NLP library, to build an end-to-end
NER system. We prepared a labeled dataset, trained the NER model, evaluated its performance, and
visualized the named entities. Spacy provides efficient and accurate NER capabilities, allowing us to
extract meaningful information from text and enhance various NLP applications such as information
extraction, question answering, and text understanding.
Lab 31: Introduction to Reinforcement Learning and Markov Decision

Processes (MDPs) and Q-Learning and Deep Q-Networks (DQNs)

Introduction to Reinforcement Learning:

Reinforcement Learning (RL) is a branch of machine learning that focuses on enabling an agent to
learn and make sequential decisions by interacting with an environment. Unlike supervised learning,
RL does not require labeled data, but instead relies on a reward signal to guide the agent towards
optimal decision-making. RL has been successfully applied to various domains, including robotics,
game playing, and autonomous systems.

Markov Decision Processes (MDPs):

Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) are mathematical frameworks used to model sequential decision-
making problems in Reinforcement Learning (RL). MDPs provide a formal way to represent an RL
problem as a Markov chain with actions and rewards. MDPs are defined by a set of states, actions,
transition probabilities, rewards, and a discount factor. The key assumption in MDPs is the Markov
property, which states that the future state depends only on the current state and action,
independent of the past history.

Code:
import numpy as np

# Define the MDP

num_states = 3
num_actions = 2
transition_probs = np.array([
[[0.7, 0.3], [0.2, 0.8], [0.3, 0.7]],
[[0.4, 0.6], [0.9, 0.1], [0.1, 0.9]],
[[0.2, 0.8], [0.3, 0.7], [0.6, 0.4]]
])
rewards = np.array([
[[-1, 0], [-1, 0], [-1, 0]],
[[0, 0], [0, 0], [0, 0]],
[[1, 0], [1, 0], [1, 0]]
])
# Define the agent's policy
policy = np.array([0, 1, 0])

# Perform a single step in the MDP

current_state = 0
action = policy[current_state]
next_state = np.random.choice(num_states, p=transition_probs[current_state][action])
reward = rewards[current_state][action]

# Print the results

print("Current State:", current_state)
print("Action:", action)
print("Next State:", next_state)
print("Reward:", reward)

Explanation of the Code - Markov Decision Processes (MDPs):

• The code defines a simple MDP with 3 states and 2 actions for each state.
• The transition_probs array represents the transition probabilities for each state-action pair.
For example, transition_probs[0][0] represents the transition probabilities from state 0 to
state 0 when taking action 0.
• The rewards array represents the rewards for each state-action pair. For example,
rewards[0][0] represents the reward obtained when taking action 0 in state 0.
• The policy array represents the agent's policy, which determines the action to be taken in
each state.
• A single step in the MDP is performed by selecting an action based on the policy and
sampling the next state and reward based on the transition probabilities and rewards.
• The results, including the current state, action, next state, and reward, are printed.

Objectives of Markov Decision Processes (MDPs):

• Understanding MDPs: Gain an understanding of MDPs and their role in modeling sequential
decision-making problems in RL.
• MDP Representation: Learn how to represent MDPs using states, actions, transition
probabilities, and rewards.
 • Policy Optimization: Explore methods for optimizing the agent's policy to maximize the
expected cumulative reward.
• Value Iteration and Policy Iteration: Learn about value iteration and policy iteration
algorithms for solving MDPs.
• Reinforcement Learning with MDPs: Understand how RL algorithms, such as Q-Learning and
SARSA, utilize MDPs to learn optimal policies.
• By understanding MDPs and their representation, we can effectively model and solve
sequential decision-making problems in RL. The code example and objectives provided aim
to provide a foundation for exploring and applying MDPs in the context of RL.

Q-Learning:
Q-Learning is a model-free Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithm used for solving Markov Decision
Processes (MDPs). It is an off-policy learning algorithm that learns the optimal action-value function
(Q-function) by iteratively updating Q-values based on the Bellman equation. Q-Learning does not
require knowledge of the transition probabilities of the MDP and can handle environments with
discrete state and action spaces.

Code:
import numpy as np

# Initialize Q-values
num_states = 4
num_actions = 2
Q = np.zeros((num_states, num_actions))

# Define the MDP

transition_probs = np.array([
[[0.8, 0.2], [0.2, 0.8]],
[[0.9, 0.1], [0.3, 0.7]],
[[0.4, 0.6], [0.6, 0.4]],
[[0.1, 0.9], [0.4, 0.6]]
])
rewards = np.array([
[[-1, -1], [-1, -1]],
[[-1, -1], [10, -1]],
[[-1, -1], [-1, -1]],
[[0, 0], [0, 0]]
])

# Q-Learning parameters
learning_rate = 0.1
discount_factor = 0.9
num_episodes = 1000

# Q-Learning algorithm
for episode in range(num_episodes):
state = np.random.randint(num_states)
done = False

while not done:

action = np.argmax(Q[state])
next_state = np.random.choice(num_states, p=transition_probs[state][action])
reward = rewards[state][action][next_state]

Q[state, action] += learning_rate * (reward + discount_factor * np.max(Q[next_state]) - Q[state,

action])

state = next_state
if state == num_states - 1:
done = True

# Print the learned Q-values

print("Learned Q-values:")
print(Q)

Explanation of the Code - Q-Learning:

• The code initializes the Q-values as a 2D array with zeros, representing the action-values for
each state-action pair.
• The MDP is defined using the transition probabilities and rewards arrays, which represent
the dynamics of the environment.
• The Q-Learning algorithm starts with randomly initializing the state and continues until
reaching the terminal state.
• In each iteration, the agent selects an action based on the current state and the Q-values and
transitions to the next state based on the transition probabilities.
• The Q-value of the current state-action pair is updated using the Q-Learning update rule.
 • The algorithm repeats this process for multiple episodes, iteratively updating the Q-values
until convergence.
• The learned Q-values represent the optimal action-values for each state-action pair.
• Objectives of Q-Learning:

• Understand Q-Learning: Gain an understanding of the Q-Learning algorithm and its

exploration-exploitation trade-off.
• Implement Q-Learning: Implement the Q-Learning algorithm to learn the optimal Q-values
for a given RL problem.
• Evaluate Q-Learning: Evaluate the performance of the learned Q-values and assess the
agent's ability to make optimal decisions.

Deep Q-Networks (DQNs):

Deep Q-Networks (DQNs) extend Q-Learning by using deep neural networks to approximate the Q-
function in RL problems with high-dimensional or continuous state spaces. DQNs address the
limitations of tabular Q-Learning by utilizing function approximation and experience replay.

Code:
import tensorflow as tf
from tensorflow.keras import layers
import numpy as np

# Define the Deep Q-Network (DQN) model

model = tf.keras.Sequential([
layers.Dense(64, activation='relu', input_shape=(state_dim,)),
layers.Dense(64, activation='relu'),
layers.Dense(num_actions)
])

# DQN parameters
learning_rate = 0.001
discount_factor = 0.99
num_episodes = 1000
replay_buffer = []

# DQN algorithm
for episode in range(num_episodes):
state = env.reset()
done = False

while not done:

# Epsilon-greedy exploration
epsilon = 0.1
if np.random.rand() < epsilon:
action = np.random.randint(num_actions)
else:
q_values = model.predict(np.expand_dims(state, axis=0))
action = np.argmax(q_values)

next_state, reward, done, _ = env.step(action)

replay_buffer.append((state, action, reward, next_state, done))

if len(replay_buffer) > replay_buffer_size:

replay_buffer.pop(0)

# Sample mini-batch from replay buffer

batch_size = 32
if len(replay_buffer) >= batch_size:
mini_batch = np.random.choice(len(replay_buffer), batch_size, replace=False)
states, actions, rewards, next_states, dones = zip(*[replay_buffer[i] for i in mini_batch])

states = np.array(states)
next_states = np.array(next_states)
targets = rewards + discount_factor * np.max(model.predict(next_states), axis=1) * (1 - dones)

# Train the DQN model

model.fit(states, targets, verbose=0)

state = next_state

# Print the learned Q-values

q_values = model.predict(states)
print("Learned Q-values:")
print(q_values)
Explanation of the Code - Deep Q-Networks (DQNs):

• The code defines a DQN model using the Sequential API from TensorFlow.
• The DQN model consists of multiple dense layers, which approximate the Q-function for the
RL problem.
• The DQN algorithm follows a similar process to Q-Learning but incorporates a deep neural
network for function approximation.
• The agent interacts with the environment, stores experiences in the replay buffer, and
samples mini-batches for training.
• The DQN model is trained by minimizing the mean squared error between the predicted Q-
values and the target Q-values.
• The algorithm repeats this process for multiple episodes, iteratively updating the DQN model
until convergence.
• The learned Q-values represent the optimal action-values approximated by the DQN model.

Objectives of Deep Q-Networks (DQNs):

• Understand DQNs: Understand the concept of DQNs and their advantages over traditional Q-
Learning in handling high-dimensional or continuous state spaces.
• Implement DQNs: Implement a DQN using deep neural networks to approximate the Q-
function in RL problems.
• Evaluate DQNs: Evaluate the performance of the DQN by measuring its ability to make
accurate predictions and make optimal decisions.
• By understanding Q-Learning and Deep Q-Networks (DQNs), we can effectively learn optimal
policies and make optimal decisions in a wide range of RL problems. The provided code
examples and objectives aim to provide a foundation for exploring and applying these RL
techniques.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, Q-Learning and Deep Q-Networks (DQNs) are two powerful reinforcement learning
algorithms. Q-Learning is effective for discrete state and action spaces, while DQNs extend Q-Learning
to handle high-dimensional or continuous state spaces. By implementing these algorithms, we can
train agents to learn optimal policies and make informed decisions. Q-Learning and DQNs have
various applications in domains such as robotics, game playing, and autonomous systems. Through
the provided code examples and objectives, we have gained insights into their implementation and
evaluation. These algorithms offer valuable tools for building intelligent agents capable of making
optimal decisions in dynamic environments.
