Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “We will call the loan_dataset.csv file and will save it in the same directory, from where we will run this example.”

A block of code is set as follows:

import pandas as pd
import os
FILENAME = "./loan_dataset.csv"
DATA_URL = "http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/machine-learning-databases/00350/default%20of%20credit%20card%20clients.xls"

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “Biases in machine learning can take many forms, hence we categorized these biases into two main types, easy to identify biases and difficult to identify biases.”
