Exploring the Housing dataset

Before we implement the first linear regression model, we will discuss a new dataset, the Housing dataset, which contains information about houses in the suburbs of Boston collected by D. Harrison and D.L. Rubinfeld in 1978. The Housing dataset has been made freely available and is included in the code bundle of this book. The dataset has recently been removed from the UCI Machine Learning Repository but is available online at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rasbt/python-machine-learning-book-3rd-edition/master/ch10/housing.data.txt or scikit-learn (https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/blob/master/sklearn/datasets/data/boston_house_prices.csv). As with each new dataset, it is always helpful to explore the data through a simple visualization, to get a better feeling of what we are working with.

Loading the Housing dataset into a data frame

In this section, we will load the Housing dataset using the pandas read_csv function, which is fast...
