Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) in Machine Learning - ML 075

EDA is primarily used in machine learning to see what data can reveal beyond the formal modeling or hypothesis testing task and provides a better understanding of data set variables and the relationships between them. It can also help determine if the statistical techniques you are considering for data analysis are appropriate. Today on the show, Ben and Michael discuss how to use EDA in machine learning models.

In this episode...
