To get the most out of this book

To get the most out of this book, these are the prerequisites:

  • Fluency in Python programming
  • Knowledge of basic statistical concepts

Knowledge of Python's data science stack is an advantage but is not essential. We will also be using Python 3.6 and many of the main analytical libraries. The easiest way to get them is by installing the Anaconda distribution. This is not required, but it will make your life easier.
