Module 8: Lesson 3¶

Advanced Density Estimation¶

This lesson introduces the kernel density estimation functionality in the Python scikit learn module, and the application of density estimation to two-dimensional data. Finally, sampling from a density estimate is demonstrated by using image data.

Objectives¶

By the end of this lesson, you will be be able to

articulate how density estimation provides insight into two-dimensional data,
how to perform density estimation by using the scikit learn library, and
how to use density estimation as a generative model.

Time Estimate¶

Approximately 2 hours.

Activities¶

Video: Watch the Advanced Density Estimation video.

Notebook: Read and complete the practice exercises in the Advanced Density Estimation notebook.
