Mastering Predictive Analytics with scikit-learn and TensorFlow

By: Alvaro Fuentes

Overview of this book

Python is a programming language that provides a wide range of features that can be used in the field of data science. Mastering Predictive Analytics with scikit-learn and TensorFlow covers various implementations of ensemble methods, how they are used with real-world datasets, and how they improve prediction accuracy in classification and regression problems. This book starts with ensemble methods and their features. You will see that scikit-learn provides tools for choosing hyperparameters for models. As you make your way through the book, you will cover the nitty-gritty of predictive analytics and explore its features and characteristics. You will also be introduced to artificial neural networks and TensorFlow, and how it is used to create neural networks. In the final chapter, you will explore factors such as computational power, along with improvement methods and software enhancements for efficient predictive analytics. By the end of this book, you will be well-versed in using deep neural networks to solve common problems in big data analysis.

What this book covers

Chapter 1, Ensemble Methods for Regression and Classification, covers the application of ensemble methods or algorithms to produce accurate predictions of models. We will go through the application of ensemble methods for regression and classification problems.

Chapter 2, Cross-validation and Parameter Tuning, explores various techniques to combine and build better models. We will learn different methods of cross-validation, including holdout cross-validation and k-fold cross-validation. We will also discuss what hyperparameter tuning is.

Chapter 3, Working with Features, explores feature selection methods, dimensionality reduction, PCA, and feature engineering. We will also study methods to improve models with feature engineering.

Chapter 4, Introduction to Artificial Neural Networks and TensorFlow, is an introduction to ANNs and TensorFlow. We will explore the various elements in the network and their functions. We will also learn the basic concepts of TensorFlow in it.

Chapter 5, Predictive Analytics with TensorFlow and Deep Neural Networks, explores predictive analytics with the help of TensorFlow and deep learning. We will study the MNIST dataset and classification of models using this dataset. We will learn about DNNs, their functions, and the application of DNNs to the MNIST dataset.
