A Hands-On learning with Scikit-Learn

Introduction

Machine learning has become an integral part of data analysis and predictive modeling. Scikit-Learn, also known as sklearn, is a powerful and widely-used Python library that provides simple and efficient tools for data analysis and modeling. In this article, we'll explore the fundamentals of Scikit-Learn and demonstrate how to use it for various machine learning tasks with code snippets.

Installing Scikit-Learn

Before we dive into using Scikit-Learn, make sure you have it installed on your machine. You can install it using pip:

Once Scikit-Learn is installed, we can begin exploring its capabilities.

Data Preparation

Machine learning typically starts with data preprocessing. In Scikit-Learn, datasets are typically represented as 2D arrays (or matrices) where each row represents an instance, and each column represents a feature. Let's load a sample dataset and prepare it for modeling.
