How this data set started.
I was creating data on my family to play with data models. Whilst I was creating the data Christiaan my oldest son was very impressed with the graphing function of Open Office. He continued adding more and more data to draw bigger charts. We eventually ended up with the current data set.
As a data scientist I immediately asked the following question. What can we predict from this data? Can we predict if someone is male or female? Can we predict if a person is an adult or a child?
This notebook will explore predictions on small data sets. It will also highlight the problems associated with small data sets.
