Me sorprendió recibir el siguiente mensaje de error cuando intenté usar los datos de Boston Housing en scikit-learn de Python (mediante el módulo load_boston). Creo que deberíamos evitar usar estos datos cuando haces una demostración a usuarios y prospectos. Ingresé en el ticket JIRA JMP-16844 que deberíamos eliminar la tabla de datos de muestra de Vivienda de Boston de JMP. A menudo he usado ingenuamente este conjunto de datos.
`load_boston` has been removed from scikit-learn since version 1.2.
The Boston housing prices dataset has an ethical problem: as
investigated in [1], the authors of this dataset engineered a
non-invertible variable "B" assuming that racial self-segregation had a
positive impact on house prices [2]. Furthermore the goal of the
research that led to the creation of this dataset was to study the
impact of air quality but it did not give adequate demonstration of the
validity of this assumption.
The scikit-learn maintainers therefore strongly discourage the use of
this dataset unless the purpose of the code is to study and educate
about ethical issues in data science and machine learning.
