1. Fundamentals

Overview

This chapter introduces you to supervised learning, using Anaconda to manage coding environments, and using Jupyter notebooks to create, manage, and run code. It also covers some of the most common Python packages used in supervised learning: pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib, and seaborn. By the end of this chapter, you will be able to install and load Python libraries into your development environment for use in analysis and machine learning problems. You will also be able to load an external data source using pandas, and use a variety of methods to search, filter, and compute descriptive statistics of the data. This chapter will enable you to gauge the potential impact of various issues such as missing data, class imbalance, ...

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.
