Digits Classification Exercise¶

A tutorial exercise regarding the use of classification techniques on the Digits dataset.

This exercise is used in the Classification part of the Supervised learning: predicting an output variable from high-dimensional observations section of the A tutorial on statistical-learning for scientific data processing.
