Weight/Height Gender Predictor

This logistic regression classifier loads and trains on a dataset of weights, heights and gender. It then allows for user input to guess the gender from some weight & height. It also generates a plot of error during training as a side effect.

When ran, the dataset will automatically be loaded and trained on and a model will be fit. THis is done using gradient descent and the cross entropy loss function.

It achieves around 92% accuracy, which is on par with a model from the sklearn module for this dataset.
