================
The Iris Dataset
================
This data sets consists of 3 different types of irises'
(Setosa, Versicolour, and Virginica) petal and sepal
length, stored in a 150x4 numpy.ndarray
The rows being the samples and the columns being:
Sepal Length, Sepal Width, Petal Length and Petal Width.
The below plot uses the first two features.
See `here <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iris_flower_data_set>`_ for more
information on this dataset.

# Scatter Plot of the Iris dataset

# %%
# Each point in the scatter plot refers to one of the 150 iris flowers
# in the dataset, with the color indicating their respective type
# (Setosa, Versicolour, and Virginica).
# You can already see a pattern regarding the Setosa type, which is
# easily identifiable based on its short and wide sepal. Only
# considering these 2 dimensions, sepal width and length, there's still
# overlap between the Versicolor and Virginica types.

# Plot a PCA representation
# -------------------------
# Let's apply a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to the iris dataset
# and then plot the irises across the first three PCA dimensions.
# This will allow us to better differentiate between the three types!

# PCA will create 3 new features that are a linear combination of the
# 4 original features. In addition, this transform maximizes the variance.
# With this transformation, we see that we can identify each species using
# only the first feature (i.e. first eigenvalues).
