A prediction experiment with Machine Learning

I recently participated in a Machine Learning workshop at Rootstrap, where my coworkers and I learned about the basics of data science, did some research, and created interesting experiments. We had the opportunity to choose among the studied Machine Learning algorithms and work with them. So, I decided to do an experiment where a mathematical model predicts the life expectancy of a country. That is, given some data of a given country, we can make a prediction of its life expectancy in a determined year. The experiment was made in a jupyter notebook, using the python programming language, and the scikit learn library. In this blog, I'm going to talk about my experience and explain a little bit about the work I did and the new things that I have learned.
