Content preview from Artificial Intelligence with Python

Segmenting the market based on shopping patterns

Let's see how to apply unsupervised learning techniques to segment the market based on customer shopping habits. You have been provided with a file named sales.csv. This file contains the sales details of a variety of tops from a number of retail clothing stores. Our goal is to identify the patterns and segment the market based on the number of units sold in these stores.

Create a new Python file and import the following packages:

import csv 
 
import numpy as np 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
from sklearn.cluster import MeanShift, estimate_bandwidth

Load the data from the input file. Since it's a csv file, we can use the csv reader in python to read the data from this file and convert it into a NumPy ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
