Python Feature Engineering Cookbook

Getting ready

In this recipe, we will use the Breast Cancer dataset that comes with scikit-learn, which contains information about tumors and other medical abnormalities, and a target indicating whether they are cancerous. To become familiar with the dataset, run the following commands in a Jupyter Notebook or Python console:

from sklearn.datasets import load_breast_cancerdata = load_breast_cancer()print(data.DESCR)

The preceding code block should print out the description of the dataset and an interpretation of its variables.
