Training Systems Using Python Statistical Modeling

Preprocessing the data

Now let's open up the Jupyter Notebook and get started on our first program, using the methods that we discussed in the previous section:

1. The first thing we need to do is load the various libraries that we need. We will also load the iris dataset from the scikit-learn library, using the following code:

2. After importing all the required libraries and the dataset, we will go ahead and create an object called iris_obj, which loads the iris dataset into an object. Then, we will go ahead and use the data method to preview the dataset; and this results in the following output:

Notice that it's a NumPy array. This contains ...
