Abstract

This is an important chapter because it discusses the basic and practical concepts of machine learning (ML). I did not take the academic book style to explain these concepts. I have directed my thoughts and energy to provide you with the concepts that are useful during practical decision making. Hence, while explaining the concepts, terminologies, and technical details, I use examples and case studies that are be helpful in extracting relevant insight from the chapter.
