Hello everyone and welcome to this new hands-on project on Scikit-Learn for solving machine learning regression problems. In this project, we will learn how to build and train regression models using Scikit-Learn library. Scikit-learn is a free machine learning library developed for python. Scikit-learn offers several algorithms for classification, regression, and clustering. Several famous machine learning models are included such as support vector machines, random forests, gradient boosting, and k-means.
