Introduction to Scikit-Learn
While pandas will save you a lot of time in loading, examining, and cleaning data, the machine learning algorithms that will enable you to do predictive modelling are in other packages. We consider scikit-learn to be the premier machine learning package for Python, outside of deep learning. While it's impossible for any one package to offer "everything," scikit-learn comes close in terms of accommodating a wide range of approaches for classification and regression, and unsupervised learning. Here are the topics that we will cover now:
