# Importing the course datasets
brfss = pd.read_hdf('datasets/brfss.hdf5', 'brfss') # Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) 
gss = pd.read_hdf('datasets/gss.hdf5', 'gss') # General Social Survey (GSS) 
nsfg = pd.read_hdf('datasets/nsfg.hdf5', 'nsfg') # National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG)

    Explore Datasets

    Use the DataFrames imported in the first cell to explore the data and practice your skills!

    • Begin by calculating the number of rows and columns and displaying the names of columns for each DataFrame. Change any column names for better readability.
    • Experiment and compute a correlation matrix for variables in nsfg.
    • Compute the simple linear regression of WTKG3 (weight) and HTM4 (height) in brfss (or any other variables you are interested in!). Then, compute the line of best fit and plot it. If the fit doesn't look good, try a non-linear model.
