Introduction to Scikit-learn
Chapter 4: Understanding your features
Obtaining some statistics
A third question…
Question 3: What is the range of each attribute? And mean/median/standard deviation?
The next item you can do to understand the features better is to get some statistics on them.
For example,
- What is the minimum and maximum values for each feature/attribute?
- What is the mean, median and standard deviation for each?
This information will help you understand your features better.
You can use NumPy to compute this. I will not give you the solutions to this, but will let you practise your NumPy skills here. Check out the NumPy lessons if you need a refresher!
