I would like to thank my family for giving me the mornings, nights, and weekends to write this book. Without their love and support everything would be a lot harder. I'd also like to thank the creators of Pandas, scikit-learn, matplotlib, and all the excellent Python tools that allow us to do all that we do with data and have fun at the same time. Finally, I'd like to thank the team at Packt for giving me a platform for this book, and you for purchasing it.
