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.

Contrasting forecasting with prophesying

Past performance is not indicative of future results. This disclaimer is used by financial companies when they reference the performance of products such as mutual funds. But this disclaimer is a bit of an odd contradiction, because the past is all that we have to work with. If the companies that comprise the mutual fund have had consistently positive quarterly results for the last eight quarters straight, does that guarantee that they will also have a positive set of results for the next eight quarters and that their public valuation will continue to rise? Probability could be on the side of that being the case, but that might not be the whole story. And, before we get too wishful in thinking that Elastic ML’s ability to forecast is our key to making a fortune in the stock market, we should be realistic about one key caveat—there are always uncontrollable factors.

The reason financial companies use the preceding disclaimer...
