Optional Supplements

Chapter 5 Machine Learning from the Python Data Science Handbook provides a very nice treatment of many of the topics from the above videos and more. If you are new to machine learning, we highly recommend that you read sections 5.1 “What is Machine Learning” through 5.4 “Feature Engineering” after completing the videos. After that, you can optionally read any of the In-Depth sections about specific algorithms for prediction.

In addition, the scikit-learn documentation itself provides several resources for working with the library:

• Scikit-learn Getting Started and Scikit-learn tutorials provide some short introductory materials
• Scikit-learn examples has an extensive library of example applications with code
• Scikit-learn user guide explains the classes of models and features of the library
• Scikit-learn api reference contains the full api reference
