About the dataset

This database contains two attributes. The target variable refers to the weights of the sample individuals.

To load the training data in your jupyter notebook, use the below command:

import pandas as pd
heights_data  = pd.read_csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dphi-official/Datasets/master/Weights_Heights_Predict_Weights/Training_set_weights.csv" )

Data Description

Height(Inches): Height of the individuals in inches
Weight(Pounds): Weight of the individuals in pounds

Evaluation Dataset

Load the evaluation data (name it as weights_eval). You can load the data using the below command.

weights_eval = pd.read_csv('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dphi-official/Datasets/master/Weights_Heights_Predict_Weights/Testing_set_weights.csv')

Here the target column is deliberately not there as you need to predict it.
