Machine Learning with the Hipparcos Star Catalog

Exploratory data analysis and stellar classification with pandas, seaborn and sklearn.

Hipparcos Stellar Catalog, collected by the Hipparcos satellite, from Kaggle.

This repository includes two jupyter notebooks:

  • HipparcosEDA.ipynb: exploratory data analysis of the Hipparcos dataset via different visualization routines using pandas and seaborn.

  • HipparcosML.ipynb: classification of the Hipparcos stars based on their variability and spectral type (see here for more details on the different categories), using random forests, k-NN and PCA in sklearn.
