Summary
Please note that this book is not a sequel to the
First Edition, but rather a restructured and revamped version
of the First Edition.
But rather than spend $30-$50 USD on a dense long textbook,
you may want to read this book first. As a clear and concise
alternative to a textbook, this book provides a practical and
high-level introduction to the practical components and
statistical concepts found in machine learning.
Machine Learning for Absolute Beginners Second Edition
has been written and designed for
absolute beginners
. This means plain-English explanations and no coding
experience required. Where core algorithms are introduced,
clear explanations and
visual examples are added to make it easy and
engaging to follow along at home. This major
new edition features many topics not covered
in the First Edition, including Cross Validation, Ensemble
Modeling, Grid Search, Feature Engineering, and One-hot
Encoding.
Please note that this book is not a sequel to the First
Edition, but rather a restructured and revamped version of the
First Edition. Readers of the First Edition should not
feel compelled to purchase this Second Edition.
Disclaimer: If you have passed the 'beginner'
stage in your study of machine learning and are ready to tackle
coding and deep learning, you would be well served with a
long-format textbook. If, however, you are yet to reach that
Lion King moment - as a fully grown Simba
looking over the Pride Lands of Africa - then this is the book
to gently hoist you up and offer you a clear lay of the
land.
