Differentiate Penguin Species

In this project we are going to perform exploartory data analysis and ccreate machine learning models using following algorithms:

  • Logistic regression
  • SVM
  • MLP
  • RF
  • Gradient Boosting

to predict the species of a given penguin.

Dataset

The Penguin dataset contains following attributes:

  • species: penguin species (Chinstrap, Adélie, or Gentoo)
  • culmen_length_mm: culmen length (mm)
  • culmen_depth_mm: culmen depth (mm)
  • flipper_length_mm: flipper length (mm)
  • body_mass_g: body mass (g)
  • island: island name (Dream, Torgersen, or Biscoe) in the Palmer Archipelago (Antarctica)
  • sex: penguin sex

The target attribute: species

Installation

To develop this project Jupyter Notebooks and Anaconda are used. You can install Anaconda from here. Then either use Jupyter Labs or jupyter notebook extension to open the files. You can also view the project on Kaggle here
