About This Book Learn how to handle a variety of tasks with Scikit-Learn with interesting recipes that show you how the library really works Use Scikit-Learn to simplify the programming side data so you can focus on thinking Discover how to apply algorithms in a variety of situationsWho This Book Is ForIf youre a data scientist already familiar with Python but not Scikit-Learn, or are familiar with other programming languages like R and want to take the plunge with the gold standard of Python machine learning libraries, then this is the book for you.What You Will Learn Address algorithms of various levels of complexity and learn how to analyze data at the same time Handle common data problems such as feature extraction and missing data Understand how to evaluate your models against themselves and any other model Discover just enough math needed to learn how to think about the connections between various algorithms Customize the machine learning algorithm to fit your problem, and learn how to modify it when the situation calls for it Incorporate other packages from the Python ecosystem to munge and visualize your datasetIn DetailPython is quickly becoming the go-to language for analysts and data scientists due to its simplicity and flexibility, and within the Python data space, scikit-learn is the unequivocal choice for machine learning. Its consistent API and plethora of features help solve any machine learning problem it comes across.The book starts by walking through different methods to prepare your databe it a dataset with missing values or text columns that require the categories to be turned into indicator variables. After the data is ready, youll learn different techniques aligned with different objectivesbe it a dataset with known outcomes such as sales by state, or more complicated problems such as clustering similar customers. Finally, youll learn how to polish your algorithm to ensure that its both accurate and resilient to new datasets.

About the Author

Trent Hauck is a data scientist living and working in the Seattle area. He grew up in Wichita, Kansas and received his undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of Kansas.

He is the author of the book Instant Data Intensive Apps with pandas How-to , Packt Publishing a book that can get you up to speed quickly with pandas and other associated technologies.

First, a big thanks to the Python software community, the people behind scikit-learn in particular; the skill with which the code is developed is responsible for a lot of good work that gets done.

Personally, I'd like to thank my family, friends, and coworkers.

Preface

This book is designed in the same way that many data science and analytics projects play out. First, we need to acquire data; the data is often messy, incomplete, or not correct in some way. Therefore, we spend the first chapter talking about strategies for dealing with bad data and ways to deal with other problems that arise from data. For example, what happens if we have too many features? How do we handle that? The first chapter is your guide. The meat of the book will walk you through various algorithms and how to implement them into your workflow. And finally, we'll end with the postmodel workflow. This chapter is fairly agnostic to the other chapters and can be applied to the various algorithms you'll learn up until the final chapter.

What this book covers

, Premodel Workflow , walks you through the preparatory step of preparing a dataset for modeling and shows how scikit-learn can help to ameliorate the burden of preprocessing.

, Working with Linear Models , discusses how many problems can be viewed as linear models upon the appropriate application of a transformation, and therefore walks you through what may be the most used class of models.

, Building Models with Distance Metrics , encompasses a large number of topics that largely work by measuring the similarity between the data points. Because similarity and distance are often synonymous, clustering can often be used as long as a distance function can be defined.

, Classifying Data with scikit-learn , focuses on the various methods within scikit-learn that are used to determine a data point as some member between 1 and N classes.

, Postmodel Workflow , teaches us how we can take a basic model produced from one of the recipes and tune it so that we can achieve better results than we could with the basic model.
