Summary
Congratulations! You made really good progress in this chapter. Together, we learned the fundamental concepts and techniques for using data to perform predictions. We separated the predictions into predicting numerical values and predicting events and labels. In data mining, the term prediction is used for predicting numerical values, and we use classification for predicting events and labels. In this chapter, we covered data mining task prediction, and in the next chapter, we will cover data mining task classification.
Before moving forward and starting your journey to learn about classification and how it can be done in the next chapter, spend some time on the following exercises and solidify your learnings.
