Overview of this book

Elastic Stack, previously known as the ELK stack, is a log analysis solution that helps users ingest, process, and analyze search data effectively. With the addition of machine learning, a key commercial feature, the Elastic Stack makes this process even more efficient. This updated second edition of Machine Learning with the Elastic Stack provides a comprehensive overview of Elastic Stack's machine learning features for both time series data analysis as well as for classification, regression, and outlier detection. The book starts by explaining machine learning concepts in an intuitive way. You'll then perform time series analysis on different types of data, such as log files, network flows, application metrics, and financial data. As you progress through the chapters, you'll deploy machine learning within Elastic Stack for logging, security, and metrics. Finally, you'll discover how data frame analysis opens up a whole new set of use cases that machine learning can help you with. By the end of this Elastic Stack book, you'll have hands-on machine learning and Elastic Stack experience, along with the knowledge you need to incorporate machine learning in your distributed search and data analysis platform.

Taking your first steps with classification

In this section, we will be creating a sample classification job using the public Wisconsin Breast Cancer dataset. The original dataset is available here: (https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/breast+cancer+wisconsin+(original)). For this exercise, we will be using a slightly sanitized version of the dataset, which will remove the necessity for data cleaning (an important step in the lifecycle of a machine learning project, but not one we have space to discuss in this book) and allow us to focus on the basics of creating a classification job:

  1. Download the sanitized dataset file breast-cancer-wisconsin-outlier.csv from the Chapter 11 - Classification Analysis folder in the book's GitHub repository (https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Machine-Learning-with-Elastic-Stack-Second-Edition/tree/main/Chapter%2011%20-%20Classification%20Analysis) and store it locally on your machine. In your Kibana instance, navigate to the Machine...
