hp_idx = cont_attr.index('hp')

Is there a specific reason why we use hp and not another continuous attribute such as weight for this example?

Hi @lzambra,

There's no specific reason for using hp, any other continuous attribute could have been used to train a model. HP seemed like a good choice because the relationship between fuel consumption and HP strikes me as the most intuitive. But I guess the weight would be a good choice as well, as you pointed out.
Best,
Daniel
