Using both machine learning in Python and data visualization in Tableau, we'll be walking through the following concepts:
Python:
Data science approach
Applying PCA
Creating a scatter plot with jitter
Exporting data
Tableau:
Importing data
Creating a scatter plot
Filtering the data
Identifying clusters
Making final recommendations
... all in 15 minutes!
