I wanted to mention that in my personal experience, this module is the best explained so far in the DS career path. Great job!
However, I wanted to mention also, the wrapper method started project; does not include the obesity.csv file which would be very handy if you could do, instead of copying the data and creating a new file.

Does anyone know the correct link to the breast cancer data that’s used in this module? The UCI link in step one points to an Algerian forest fire dataset for me.

Based on the dimensions of the dataframe, I think the correct link is this one: UCI Machine Learning Repository: Breast Cancer Coimbra Data Set
But could someone verify that this is correct?

The dataset’s website provided in the Obesity Wrapper Method project is no longer working. The dataset can now be found here:
