Predicting penguin species
The dataset that we will primarily use in this chapter is the same Palmer Penguins dataset that we used earlier in Chapter 1, An Introduction to Streamlit. As is typical, we will create a new folder that will house our new Streamlit app and accompanying code.
The following code creates this new folder within our streamlit_apps
folder and copies the data from our penguin_app
folder. If you haven’t downloaded the Palmer Penguins dataset yet, please follow the instructions in the The setup: Palmer Penguins section in Chapter 2, Uploading, Downloading, and Manipulating Data:
mkdir penguin_ml
cp penguin_app/penguins.csv penguin_ml
cd penguin_ml
touch penguins_ml.py
touch penguins_streamlit.py
As you may have noticed in the preceding code, there are two Python files here, one to create the ML model (penguins_ml.py
) and the second to create the Streamlit app (penguins_streamlit.py
). We will start with the penguins_ml.py
file, and once we have...
