Principal Components Analysis (PCA) is an algorithm to transform the columns of a dataset into a new set of features called Principal Components. By doing this, a large chunk of the information across the full dataset is effectively compressed in fewer feature columns. This enables dimensionality reduction and ability to visualize the separation of classes …
The logging module lets you track events when your code runs so that when the code crashes you can check the logs and identify what caused it. Log messages have a built-in hierarchy – starting from debugging, informational, warnings, error and critical messages. You can include traceback information as well. It is designed for small …
