Machine Learning: Random Forest with Python from Scratch - Outliers Removal

The video tutorial covers the second part of data cleaning, focusing on the removal of outliers. It begins with an explanation of what outliers are and their potential causes, such as measurement or data entry errors. The instructor demonstrates manual methods for detecting and correcting outliers, highlighting the inefficiency of this approach for large datasets. The tutorial then introduces automated methods using data visualization tools, specifically histograms, to identify and remove outliers efficiently. The process involves reading a dataset, visualizing it, and applying conditions to filter out outliers. The tutorial concludes with saving the cleaned dataset and a brief mention of the next step in data cleaning, which is converting categorical data into numeric form.
