Predictive Models: Build, Explore Data & Deploy

This hands-on course guides learners through the complete lifecycle of predictive modeling, using a real-world banking use case to forecast term deposit subscriptions. Learners will begin by defining a business problem, analyzing and interpreting raw data through Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA), and applying data preparation techniques such as imputation and variable selection. The course then progresses to constructing robust models using industry-standard statistical practices, including Information Value (IV) analysis and multicollinearity checks. Learners will evaluate model performance using ranking techniques, decile analysis, KS statistics, AUC, and Lift. They will also enhance model effectiveness through optimization strategies such as monotonic binning and tree-based methods. Finally, the course concludes by validating the models on unseen datasets and deploying them to a simulated production environment. By the end, learners will have gained the skills necessary to confidently design, develop, and deliver predictive models that solve real-world business challenges.
