The Palmer Penguins

This week’s #TidyTuesday subject is a study of 342 observations of Antarctic penguins on the Palmer Archipelago. Our goal here is first to predict the sex feature missing from several of the penguins in the dataset using a classification model, driven by what is known in other observations in the dataset. Then, we will take a closer look at an expert data visualization crafted by Cedric Scherer. And finally, we will close with a discussion of several methods of assessing variable importance.
