Content and Overview

This practical course contains 33 lectures and 4 hours of content. Its designed for all deep learning regression knowledge levels and a basic understanding of R statistical software is useful but not required.

At first, youll learn how to read or download S&P 500 Index ETF prices historical data to perform deep learning regression operations by installing related packages and running script code on RStudio IDE.

Then, youll define algorithm features by creating target and predictor variables for supervised regression learning task. Next, youll only include relevant predictor features subset or transformations in algorithm learning through features selection and features extraction procedures. For features selection, youll implement Student t-test and ANOVA F-test univariate filter methods. For features extraction, youll implement principal components analysis. After that, youll define algorithm training through mapping optimal relationship between target and predictor features within training range. For algorithm training, youll define optimal parameters estimation or fine tuning, bias-variance trade-off, optimal model complexity and artificial neural network regularization. For artificial neural network regularization, youll define node connection weights, visible and hidden layers dropout fractions, stochastic gradient descent algorithm learning and momentum rates. Later, youll define algorithm testing through evaluating previously optimized relationship forecasting accuracy through scale-dependent and scale-independent metrics. For scale-dependent metrics, youll define mean absolute error and root mean squared error. For scale-independent metrics, youll define mean absolute percentage error and mean absolute scaled error.

Next, youll define artificial neural network. Then, youll implement algorithm training for mapping optimal relationship between target and predictor features. For algorithm training, youll use only relevant predictor features subset or transformations through principal components analysis procedure and nodes connections weight decay regularization. After that, youll implement algorithm testing for evaluating previously optimized relationship forecasting accuracy through scale-dependent and scale-independent metrics.
