Date Set Description:

We'll be using the "mammographic masses" public dataset from the UCI repository. This data contains 961 instances of masses detected in mammograms, and contains the following attributes:

1. BI-RADS assessment: 1 to 5 (ordinal)

2. Age: patient's age in years (integer)

3. Shape: mass shape: round=1 oval=2 lobular=3 irregular=4 (nominal)

4. Margin: mass margin: circumscribed=1 microlobulated=2 obscured=3 ill-defined=4 spiculated=5 (nominal)

5. Density: mass density high=1 iso=2 low=3 fat-containing=4 (ordinal)

6. Severity: benign=0 or malignant=1 (binominal) (The dependent variable)

BI-RADS is an assessment of how confident the severity classification is; it is not a "predictive" attribute and so we will discard it. The age, shape, margin, and density attributes are the features that we will build our model with, and "severity" is the classification we will attempt to predict based on those attributes.

Although "shape" and "margin" are nominal data types, which sklearn typically doesn't deal with well, they are close enough to ordinal that we shouldn't just discard them. The "shape" for example is ordered increasingly from round to irregular.

Note: You may use pandas, numpy, sklearn or any essential python package you need.

A. [1.5 PoINTS] Read the given "mammographic_masses.data.txt" data set into masses_data The output should be like this: B. [1.5 POINTS] Provide a plot to show the counts of both classes in "severity" dependent variable. The output should be like this
