Online and offline retailers understand: the external environment has become overly complex and unpredictable, as the number of products gets too large to manage by hand. Therefore, retail uses algorithms to set the right prices, predict stocks and optimize other business processes. Before the beginning of predicting, the algorithm needs to be trained. Often, the training is conducted on historical data—supervised learning—where there is a target function sales, revenue, profit or market share.

We will see what Python sets are, how to make them, when to utilize them, their built-in functions, their relationships and some simple examples. A Set can be defined as an unordered list of data types that are iterable, changeable (mutable), and doesn’t have copy items. Python set class speaks the arithmetic notion of a set. Why do we use a set, rather than a list? Because these methods ... Read More
