Machine Learning for Diabetes – Towards Data Science

About one in seven U.S. adults has diabetes now, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. With this in mind, this is what we are going to do today: Learning how to use Machine Learning to help us predict Diabetes. The diabetes data set was originated from UCI Machine Learning Repository and can be downloaded from here. "Outcome" is the feature we are going to predict, 0 means No diabetes, 1 means diabetes. The k-NN algorithm is arguably the simplest machine learning algorithm.
