Python ML library: classifiers, regressors, scalers, pipelines.
scikit-learn provides a consistent API for machine learning: fit → predict → score. It includes logistic regression, random forests, SVMs, cross-validation, and feature preprocessing tools.
Example
from sklearn.linear_model import LogisticRegression model = LogisticRegression().fit(X_train, y_train)
