Understanding the Python Mock Object Library

Python’s unittest.mock library is a tool that helps you create mock objects to simulate complex logic and unpredictable dependencies. This helps you write valuable tests that verify your application logic is correct, reliable, and efficient. You’ll begin by learning about what mocking is and how you can use it to improve your tests. What Is Mocking? A mock object substitutes and imitates a real object within a testing environment. Using mock objects is a versatile and powerful way to improve […]

5 Effective Ways to Handle Imbalanced Data in Machine Learning

Image by Author Introduction Here’s a something that new machine learning practitioners figure out almost immediately: not all datasets are created equal. It may now seem obvious to you, but had you considered this before undertaking machine learning projects on a real world dataset? As an example of a single class vastly outnumbering the rest, take for instance some rare disease, which only 1% of the population has. Would a predictive model that only ever predicts “no disease” still be […]
