Mastering Data Mining with Python – Find patterns hidden in your data

Preface

Over the past decade, cheaper data storage, faster hardware, and impressive advances in algorithms have combined to pave the way for a rapid ascendance of data science as one of the most important opportunities in computing. While the term data science can include everything from cleaning data and storing data to visualizing it in graphs and charts, the area that has made the most significant gain is the invention of intelligent and sophisticated algorithms for analyzing data. Using computers to find the interesting patterns buried within massive amounts of data is called data mining, an area that encompasses elements of database systems, statistics, and machine learning.

Right now there are dozens of great data mining and machine learning ...
