Suggested Course Practical List: The list below is very limited. Faculty is expected to create new
practical definitions.
1. Use NumPy to create arrays and perform basic mathematical operations on them.
2. Utilize pandas to load and manipulate datasets, perform data cleaning, and extract useful insights.
3. Implement a basic machine learning model using scikit-learn to classify different types of flowers in the
Iris dataset.
4. Simulate the rolling of dice and analyze the distribution of outcomes.
5. Calculate the probability of a random variable using different probability distributions, such as binomial
and normal distributions.
6. Implement logistic regression to classify emails as spam or non-spam based on given features.
7. Use k-Means clustering to segment customers based on their purchase behavior.
8. Apply PCA for dimensionality reduction on a high-dimensional dataset and visualize the reduced
features.
9. Perform k-Fold Cross-Validation on a regression model to evaluate its performance on different subsets
of the data.
10. Preprocess text data by tokenizing, removing stop words, and converting text to lowercase.
