In the affinity analysis example, we looked for correlations between different variables in our dataset. In classification, we have a single variable that we are interested in and that we call the class (also called the target). In the earlier example, if we were interested in how to make people buy more apples, we would explore the rules related to apples and use those to inform our decisions.

Overview of this book
This book teaches you to design and develop data mining applications using a variety of datasets, starting with basic classification and affinity analysis. This book covers a large number of libraries available in Python, including the Jupyter Notebook, pandas, scikit-learn, and NLTK.
You will gain hands on experience with complex data types including text, images, and graphs. You will also discover object detection using Deep Neural Networks, which is one of the big, difficult areas of machine learning right now.
With restructured examples and code samples updated for the latest edition of Python, each chapter of this book introduces you to new algorithms and techniques. By the end of the book, you will have great insights into using Python for data mining and understanding of the algorithms as well as implementations.
