Predicting penguin species
The dataset that we will primarily use in this chapter is the same Palmer's Penguins dataset that we used 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's Penguins data yet, please follow the instructions in the The Setup: Palmer's 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...
