Classification models are used to classify or categorize data points into two or more categories. Learn how these models work and how you can evaluate your classification models using the confusion matrix and metrics such as accuracy, precision, and recall. During this course, you'll perform classification using both logistic regression and an imbalanced dataset. You'll also examine why precision or recall scores may be better metrics than accuracy to evaluate such models. Furthermore, build a classification model using decision trees, visualize the tree structure, and explore the variable importance assigned by this tree structure to understand and interpret the model. When you've finished this course, you'll be able to confidently use logistic regression and decision trees to build classification models and evaluate your models using accuracy, precision, and recall.
