Most of you who are learning data science with Python will have definitely heard already about scikit-learn, the open source Python library that implements a wide variety of machine learning, preprocessing, cross-validation and visualization algorithms with the help of a unified interface.
If you're still quite new to the field, you should be aware that machine learning, and thus also this Python library, belong to the must-knows for every aspiring data scientist.
That's why DataCamp has created a scikit-learn cheat sheet for those of you who have already started learning about the Python package, but that still want a handy reference sheet. Or, if you still have no idea about how scikit-learn works, this machine learning cheat sheet might come in handy to get a quick first idea of the basics that you need to know to get started.
Either way, we're sure that you're going to find it useful when you're tackling machine learning problems!
This scikit-learn cheat sheet will introduce you to the basic steps that you need to go through to implement machine learning algorithms successfully: you'll see how to load in your data, how to preprocess it, how to create your own model to which you can fit your data and predict target labels, how to validate your model and how to tune it further to improve its performance.

Python For Data Science Cheat Sheet: Scikit-learn
Scikit-learn is an open source Python library that implements a range of machine learning, preprocessing, cross-validation and visualization algorithms using a unified interface.
A Basic Example
from sklearn import neighbors, datasets, preprocessing
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score
iris = datasets.load_iris()
X, y = iris.data[:, :2], iris.target
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, random_state=33)
scaler = preprocessing.StandardScaler().fit(X_train)
X_train = scaler.transform(X_train)
X_test = scaler.transform(X_test)
knn = neighbors.KNeighborsClassifier(n_neighbors=5)
knn.fit(X_train, y_train)
y_pred = knn.predict(X_test)
accuracy_score(y_test, y_pred)
Loading The Data
Your data needs to be numeric and stored as NumPy arrays or SciPy sparse matrices. Other types that are convertible to numeric arrays, such as Pandas DataFrame, are also acceptable.
import numpy as np
X = np.random.random((10,5))
y = np.array(['M','M','F','F','M','F','M','M','F','F','F'])
X[X < 0.7] = 0
Preprocessing The Data
Standardization
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler
scaler = StandardScaler().fit(X_train)
standardized_X = scaler.transform(X_train)
standardized_X_test = scaler.transform(X_test)
Normalization
from sklearn.preprocessing import Normalizer
scaler = Normalizer().fit(X_train)
normalized_X = scaler.transform(X_train)
normalized_X_test = scaler.transform(X_test)
Binarization
from sklearn.preprocessing import Binarizer
binarizer = Binarizer(threshold=0.0).fit(X)
binary_X = binarizer.transform(X)
Encoding Categorical Features
from sklearn.preprocessing import LabelEncoder
enc = LabelEncoder()
y = enc.fit_transform(y)
Imputing Missing Values
from sklearn.preprocessing import Imputer
imp = Imputer(missing_values=0, strategy='mean', axis=0)
imp.fit_transform(X_train)
Generating Polynomial Features
from sklearn.preprocessing import PolynomialFeatures
poly = PolynomialFeatures(5)
oly.fit_transform(X)
Training And Test Data
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X,y,random_state=0)
Create Your Model

Model Fitting

lr.fit(X, y)
knn.fit(X_train, y_train)
svc.fit(X_train, y_train)
Unsupervised Learning
k_means.fit(X_train)
pca_model = pca.fit_transform(X_train)
Prediction
Supervised Estimators
y_pred = svc.predict(np.random.random((2,5)))
y_pred = lr.predict(X_test)
y_pred = knn.predict_proba(X_test))
Unsupervised Estimators
y_pred = k_means.predict(X_test)
