Obtaining data

- Data is a critical element of any machine learning project. There are many places from where you can source data. You may have an internal datastore you can query, your client may provide the data, an open-source or public datastore could help, or you may need to buy data from a third party. Do you ever dream about buying a home in California near the ocean? I know I do. If you do, you'll want to study these cost predictions.
