Scikit-Learn is a powerful and easy-to-use Python library for machine learning. It provides simple and efficient tools for data mining and data analysis.

Why Use Scikit-Learn?
Wide range of supervised & unsupervised learning algorithms
Simple and consistent API
Excellent documentation and community support
Built on top of NumPy, SciPy, and matplotlib
Supports tasks like classification, regression, clustering, and dimensionality reduction

Installation
bash
pip install scikit-learn


Basic Example: Training a Classifier
python
from sklearn.datasets import load_iris
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier
from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score

Load dataset
iris = load_iris()
X, y = iris.data, iris.target

Split data
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.3, random_state=42)

Train model
clf = RandomForestClassifier()
clf.fit(X_train, y_train)

Predict & evaluate
y_pred = clf.predict(X_test)
print(Accuracy:, accuracy_score(y_test, y_pred))
