<p>Welcome to week 6 of the <i>Data Science with R Course Series</i>.</p>
<p>This week’s curriculum is an extension of <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.business-science.io/university/2018/10/15/data-science-with-R-course-week-5.html" target="_blank">week 5</a>, where we started analyzing model performance.</p>
<p>This week will cover the following:</p>
<ul>
<li>Learn techniques to <strong>communicate and measure model performance</strong></li>
<li>Learn how to <strong>analyze individual machine learning model metrics</strong></li>
<li>Learn how to visually <strong>compare multiple models</strong> based on metrics</li>

<h2>Week 6: H2O Model Performance</h2>
<h3>Performance Overview &amp; Setup</h3>
<p>The <i>Performance Overview &amp; Setup</i> module summarizes this week’s course material and reviews the required code, such as extracted <code>H2O</code> machine learning models and utility script files.</p>
<p>
<img src="https://i0.wp.com/www.business-science.io/assets/2018-10-22-data-science-with-R-6/performance_overview.png?w=456" data-recalc-dims="1">
</p>
<p></p>
<h3>H2O Performance For Binary Classification</h3>
<p>Learn how to create an <code>H2O</code> performance object to retrieve model metrics, such as AUC and logloss. Each <code>H2O</code> auto-generated machine learning model can be extracted and saved to memory.</p>
<p>Once the machine learning models are saved, you will learn how to:</p>
<ul>
<li>Compare two competing metrics in binary classification</li>
<li>Compare top performing models using the AUC metric</li>
</ul>
<p>

</p>
<p></p>
<h3>Performance Charts For Data Scientists</h3>
<p>In <i>Performance Charts For Data Scientists</i>, take your knowledge on how to measure the performance of a single classifier and create a plot that will measure the performance of multiple models.</p>
<p>Performance charting is a great way for data scientists to <strong>evaluate model performance</strong> using different metrics.</p>

<p></p>
<h3>Performance Charts For Business People</h3>
<p>All your efforts to this point have been to create a high-performance model that accurately predicts employee churn. However, business people will not be receptive to the language of data science.</p>
<p>In this module, learn how to create a chart for business people to understand <strong>how much a model will improve results</strong>. The performance chart for business people will help communicate what can be done to solve the problem and understand how serious the problem is.</p>

</p>
<p></p>
<h3>Ultimate Model Performance Comparison Dashboard</h3>
<p>In this lecture, you will create a model metrics dashboard that combines the performance chart for data scientists and performance chart for business people into one visualization. Combining the charts assist in evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of multiple models in one view.</p>
