Starting a Jupyter session

Next, we will start a Jupyter session so that we can import our data into Python and make a machine learning model. A detailed example of creating a new Jupyter Notebook was presented in Chapter 1, Introduction to Healthcare Analytics. Here are the steps:

1. Locate the Jupyter application on your computer and start it.
2. In the new Jupyter tab that was opened in your default browser, navigate to the directory where you wish to save the notebook.
3. Locate the New drop-down menu on the upper right of the console, click it, and select Python 3.
4. You should see a new notebook, named Untitled.
5. To rename your notebook, click on the name of the notebook in the upper left. A cursor should appear. Type in the desired name. We have named our notebook ED_predict.

You are now ready to import the dataset into Jupyter.
