Machine Learning With Go

Overview of this book

The mission of this book is to turn readers into productive, innovative data analysts who leverage Go to build robust and valuable applications. To this end, the book clearly introduces the technical aspects of building predictive models in Go, but it also helps the reader understand how machine learning workflows are being applied in real-world scenarios. Machine Learning with Go shows readers how to be productive in machine learning while also producing applications that maintain a high level of integrity. It also gives readers patterns to overcome challenges that are often encountered when trying to integrate machine learning in an engineering organization. The readers will begin by gaining a solid understanding of how to gather, organize, and parse real-work data from a variety of sources. Readers will then develop a solid statistical toolkit that will allow them to quickly understand gain intuition about the content of a dataset. Finally, the readers will gain hands-on experience implementing essential machine learning techniques (regression, classification, clustering, and so on) with the relevant Go packages. Finally, the reader will have a solid machine learning mindset and a powerful Go toolkit of techniques, packages, and example implementations.

Statistics related to time series

In addition to certain jargon associated with time series, there is an important set of statistics related to time series that we will be relying on as we perform forecasting and anomaly detection. These statistics are mainly related to how values in times series are related to other values in the same time series.

The statistics will help us as we profile our data, which is an important part of any time series modeling project, as it is with all of the other types of modeling that we have covered. Gaining intuition about the behavior of your time series over time, seasonality, and trends is crucial for ensuring that you apply appropriate models and perform mental checks of your results.
