8. Machine Learning Services Extensibility Framework

"Data science" is the broader term given to data analysis techniques done in a scientific manner: create a hypothesis, create a test of the hypothesis, and validate the results (most often with a peer review). It involves standard data analysis techniques, such as queries, reports, and data exploration using business intelligence, and goes further by setting up tests using statistical and algorithmic tools for machine learning.

In this chapter, you'll briefly explore machine learning, the components and architectures in SQL Server 2019 you can use to implement these services, and a process you can follow to include them in a solution. You'll learn the new features in SQL Server 2019 for machine learning platform.

You'll start with a quick overview of machine learning, and then move on to working with the tools to create predictive models and classification. You'll then move on to installing...
