Mastering Machine Learning in Python

Machine learning is the process of using features to predict an outcome measure. Machine learning plays an important role in many industries. A few examples include using machine learning for medical diagnoses, predicting stock prices, and ad promotion optimization. Machine learning employs methods of statistics, data mining, engineering, and many other disciplines. In machine learning, we use a training set of data, in which we observe past outcome and feature measurements, to build a model for prediction.
