Overview of this book

Fully expanded and upgraded, the second edition of Python Data Science Essentials takes you through all you need to know to suceed in data science using Python. Get modern insight into the core of Python data, including the latest versions of Jupyter notebooks, NumPy, pandas and scikit-learn. Look beyond the fundamentals with beautiful data visualizations with Seaborn and ggplot, web development with Bottle, and even the new frontiers of deep learning with Theano and TensorFlow. Dive into building your essential Python 3.5 data science toolbox, using a single-source approach that will allow to to work with Python 2.7 as well. Get to grips fast with data munging and preprocessing, and all the techniques you need to load, analyse, and process your data. Finally, get a complete overview of principal machine learning algorithms, graph analysis techniques, and all the visualization and deployment instruments that make it easier to present your results to an audience of both data science experts and business users.

Naive Bayes


Naive Bayes is a very common classifier used for probabilistic binary and multiclass classification. Given the feature vector, it leverages the Bayes rule to predict the probability of each class. It's often applied to text classification since it's very effective with large and fat data (that is, a data set with many features), characterized by a consistent a priori probability, handling effectively the curse of dimensionality issue.

There are three kinds of Naive Bayes classifiers; each of them has strong assumptions (hypotheses) about the features. If you're dealing with real/continuous data, the Gaussian Naive Bayes classifier assumes that features are generated from a Gaussian process (that is, they are normally distributed). Alternatively, if you're dealing with an event model where events can be modelled with a multinomial distribution (in such a case, features are counters or frequencies), you need to use the Multinomial Naive Bayes classifier. Finally, if all your features...
