Overview of this book

Data mining is a necessary and predictable response to the dawn of the information age. It is typically defined as the pattern and/ or trend discovery phase in the data mining pipeline, and Python is a popular tool for performing these tasks as it offers a wide variety of tools for data mining. This book will serve as a quick introduction to the concept of data mining and putting it to practical use with the help of popular Python packages and libraries. You will get a hands-on demonstration of working with different real-world datasets and extracting useful insights from them using popular Python libraries such as NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn, and matplotlib. You will then learn the different stages of data mining such as data loading, cleaning, analysis, and visualization. You will also get a full conceptual description of popular data transformation, clustering, and classification techniques. By the end of this book, you will be able to build an efficient data mining pipeline using Python without any hassle.

Launching a Jupyter Notebook

The Jupyter project spun out of the popular IPython Notebook work of the early 2000s. These notebooks provide a visual interface with sequential text and code cells. This allows you to add some text to describe a solution, then follow it with code examples. The Jupyter Notebook also use the IPython console (similar to Spyder), so you have an interactive code interpretor that can plot images inline. Launching the notebook from the Anaconda prompt is simple:

(base) $ jupyter notebook

The Jupyter project maintains a few basic notebooks. Let's look at a screenshot from one of them, as follows (it can be found at http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/temporaer/tutorial_ml_gkbionics):

The concept is self-explanatory if we look at a few examples. The following are recommendations for some relevant and helpful Jupyter Notebooks on data mining and analytics from around the web:
