Data Analysis Foundations with Python

Chapter 14: Supervised Learning

 

Welcome to Chapter 14! In this chapter, we'll go in-depth into the exciting world of Supervised Learning, a fascinating area of machine learning that enables models to learn from labeled data and make predictions or decisions without human intervention. In fact, the "supervised" part of the name refers to the learning process being similar to a teacher supervising the learning process: the algorithm iteratively makes predictions and is corrected by the teacher until it learns the correct answer.

Through this chapter, we'll explore various algorithms and techniques that are fundamental to supervised learning, building a strong foundation of knowledge. The first algorithm we'll take a closer look at is Linear Regression, ...
