==========================================================================
A tutorial on statistical-learning for scientific data processing
==========================================================================
.. topic:: Statistical learning
`Machine learning <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine_learning>`_ is
a technique with a growing importance, as the
size of the datasets experimental sciences are facing is rapidly
growing. Problems it tackles range from building a prediction function
linking different observations, to classifying observations, or
learning the structure in an unlabeled dataset.
This tutorial will explore *statistical learning*, the use of
machine learning techniques with the goal of `statistical inference
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_inference>`_:
drawing conclusions on the data at hand.
Scikit-learn is a Python module integrating classic machine
learning algorithms in the tightly-knit world of scientific Python
packages (`NumPy <http://www.scipy.org>`_, `SciPy
<http://www.scipy.org>`_, `matplotlib
<http://matplotlib.org>`_).
