Frequently asked questions
Q: The prerequisites include R Programming?
A: R is used extensively in the machine learning and artificial intelligence fields. The practical elements of this course involve writing code in R. For the most part, you'll be given the code you need to complete the exercises; but a basic knowledge of R syntax will improve your understanding of what's going on in the labs and demonstrations. Consider taking course DAT204x: Introduction to R for Data Science before taking this class.
Q: What hardware and software do I need to complete this class?
A: You will need a computer running Windows, Mac OSX, or Linux and a web browser. Optionally, you can install R - but you will be able to complete the labs using a free online environment, so this is not required.
Q: Will I need a Microsoft Azure subscription to complete this class?
A: No. You will be able to complete the labs using a local R installation or the Microsoft Azure Notebooks service, which is a free service that does not require an Azure subscription.
