Learning Data Mining with Python

By: Robert Layton

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.

Sports outcome prediction

We may be able to do better by trying other features. We have a method for testing how accurate our models are. The cross_val_score method allows us to try new features.

There are many possible features we could use, but we will try the following questions:

  • Which team is considered better generally?
  • Which team won their last encounter?

We will also try putting the raw teams into the algorithm, to check whether the algorithm can learn a model that checks how different teams play against each other.

Putting it all together

For the first feature, we will create a feature that tells us if the home team is generally better than the visitors. To do this, we will load the standings (also called a ladder in some sports) from the NBA in the previous...
