Comparing Machine Learning Algorithms on a Single Dataset using Amazon SageMaker
Imagine you are the data engineer, and you have been assigned the task of finding an optimal ML algorithm by comparing multiple algorithms. This lab will take the California housing dataset and predict the median housing value. In this hands-on lab, you will learn how to train multiple regression algorithms, predict for test data and compare core regression metrics.
