Machine Learning in the AWS Cloud

Chapter 4Creating Machine Learning Models with Scikit-learn

WHAT'S IN THIS CHAPTER

• Introduction to Scikit-learn
• Learn to split your training data into training and testing sets
• Learn to use k-fold cross validation
• Learn to create different types of machine learning models

In Chapter 2, you learned about techniques to explore data and perform feature engineering. In this chapter you will learn to use Scikit-learn to split your training data into training and test sets, and to create different types of machine learning models. This chapter will use the Titanic and Iris datasets to illustrate different types of model-building techniques. A copy of these datasets is included with the files that accompany this chapter.
