Summary

In this chapter, we covered some of the basic machine learning concepts that will come in handy as we go through the remaining chapters, and they will also be useful in your data science journey. Please note that we have only covered concepts at a high level, and depending on your job role, you might want to explore some areas in more detail. We have also related this material to how DataRobot performs certain functions and where you need to pay closer attention.

Hopefully, this has given you some insights into what DataRobot will be displaying and where to focus your attention in different stages of your project. Since DataRobot automates a good chunk of model building and prediction tasks, it might be tempting to ignore many of the outputs that DataRobot is automatically producing for you. Please resist that temptation. DataRobot software is taking considerable pains and resources to produce those outputs for a very good reason. It is also doing much of the grunt work...
