Excerpt

In the previous chapter, you have learned how to prepare your data before you start the process of generating a predictive model. In this chapter, you will learn how to make a predictive model using very common regression techniques and how to evaluate the performance of a model. In the next chapter we will then look at more advanced machine learning techniques that have become increasingly popular in recent years.
