http://scikit-learn.org is a great resource to learn more about other algorithms as well as gradient boosting used in this exercise.

To further your study of machine learning, I strongly recommend that you enroll in the free Andrew Ng Machine Learning course offered on Coursera. If you enjoyed the pace of this introduction to machine learning, you may also like to read the next two books in the series, Machine Learning with Python for Beginners and Machine Learning: Make Your Own Recommender System. These two books build on the knowledge you’ve gained here and aim to extend your knowledge of machine learning with practical coding exercises in Python.
