Efficient models: reduce dimensionality with LDA in Python
Learn how to reduce dimensionality and improve model efficiency using Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) in Python. Discover how LDA helps with classification problems by maximizing class separability while reducing noise in high-dimensional data.
At a Glance
Understand and implement Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), one of the best ML methods for dimensionality reduction in classification tasks. Dimensionality reduction is a fundamental machine learning technique that is frequently used to improve the performance of prediction models, interpretability, and data visualization. This easy-to-follow, hands-on project walks you through understanding LDA, when it’s most useful, and how to implement this dimensionality reduction technique using Python.
