Working with the Python Machine Learning Library - Scikit-learn

Scikit-learn is a powerful machine learning library that provides a wide variety of modules for data access, data preparation and statistical model building. It has a good selection of clean toy datasets that are great for people just getting started with data analysis and machine learning. Easy access to these data sets removes the hassle of searching for and downloading files from an external data source. The library also enables data processing tasks such as imputation, data standardization and data normalization. These tasks can often lead to significant improvements in model performance.

Scikit-learn also provides a variety of packages for building linear models, tree-based models, clustering models and much more. It provides an easy-to-use interface for each model object type, which facilitates fast prototyping and experimentation with models. Beginners in machine learning will also find the library useful since each model object is equipped with default parameters that provide baseline performance. Overall, Scikit-learn provides many easy-to-use modules and methods for accessing and processing data and building machine learning models in Python. This tutorial will serve as an introduction to some of its functions.
