Building the machine learning model

We will start building a machine learning model with the help of historical data now with the help of BigML.

Introducing BigML

BigML is a web-based tool to build machine learning models from datasets. BigML has several advantages over other machine learning languages such as R and tools such as RapidMiner, such as:

• No local software installation is required. BigML is a web-based tool.
• Data processing is done in the cloud, which means you do not have to invest in expensive servers for building the models.
• No need to learn a new programming language to build models. BigML is a UI-driven tool.

Model building steps

We will go through six simple steps to build a machine learning model as follows:

1. Register as a user on the ...
