I haven't worked in ML, but I've used Python extensively for scientific computing. Setting up the environment used to be a headache, but Anaconda solved that issue. Are ML tools not available in Anaconda?
ML tools are available in Anaconda and is where we direct our data scientists until they are comfortable customizing further.
This is on my list of tools to investigate next. Glad I’m headed in the right direction.
I know you said "dabbling" but it seems like Anaconda is recommended by nearly every guide to ML with Python. What did you stumble across that recommended something else?
Move it to the top of your list. Anaconda is absolutely where you should start if you are trying to mess with ML/Predictive.
