**Sklearn**, alternatively known as **Scikit-learn**, is a free, [open-source](https://www.codecademy.com/resources/docs/open-source) machine learning library for [Python](https://www.codecademy.com/resources/docs/python). It includes a wide range of [algorithms](https://www.codecademy.com/resources/docs/general/algorithm) for both supervised and unsupervised learning. Supervised learning helps with tasks like classification (predicting categories) and regression (predicting continuous values). Unsupervised learning deals with unlabeled data for tasks like clustering (grouping similar data points). This library is popular for its user-friendly interface and seamless integration with other popular Python libraries like [NumPy](https://www.codecademy.com/resources/docs/numpy), SciPy, and [Pandas](https://www.codecademy.com/resources/docs/pandas).

1457
The latest version of Sklearn can be installed using [`pip`](https://www.codecademy.com/resources/docs/python/pip):
1558

1659
```shell
1760
pip install scikit-learn
1861
```

## Example: Classification Using Sklearn
64+
65+
This example demonstrates the implementation of a classification task using Sklearn:
66+
67+
```py
68+
from sklearn.datasets import load_iris
69+
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
70+
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestClassifier
71+
from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score
72+
73+
# Load the dataset
74+
iris = load_iris()
75+
X, y = iris.data, iris.target
76+
77+
# Split into training and test sets
78+
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.3, random_state=46)
79+
80+
# Initialize and train the model
81+
model = RandomForestClassifier()
82+
model.fit(X_train, y_train)
83+
84+
# Make predictions
85+
predictions = model.predict(X_test)
86+
87+
# Evaluate the model
88+
print("Accuracy:", accuracy_score(y_test, predictions))
89+
```
90+
91+
Here is the output for the example:
92+
93+
```shell
94+
Accuracy: 0.9111111111111111

119+
y_pred = model.predict(X_test)
120+
121+
# Evaluate the model
122+
print("Mean Squared Error:", mean_squared_error(y_test, y_pred))
123+

## Frequently Asked Questions
127+
128+
### 1. How is Sklearn different from TensorFlow or PyTorch?
129+
130+
Sklearn focuses on traditional machine learning models and is not designed for deep learning, whereas TensorFlow and PyTorch are primarily used for neural networks and deep learning tasks.
131+
132+
### 2. Can Sklearn handle large datasets?
133+
134+
Sklearn is efficient but primarily optimized for in-memory computations. For very large datasets, libraries like Dask-ML or Spark MLlib may be more suitable.
135+
136+
### 3. How do I choose the best model in Sklearn?
137+
138+
You can use tools like cross-validation, GridSearchCV, and RandomizedSearchCV to compare different models and find the best hyperparameters.
