Multicollinearity techniques - PCA

In the last exercise you used feature engineering to combine the s1 and s2 independent variables as s1_s2 since they displayed the highest correlation in the diabetes dataset.

In this exercise, you'll perform PCA on diabetes to remove multicollinearity before you apply Linear Regression to it. Then, you'll compare the output metrics to those from the last exercise. Finally, you'll visualize what the correlation matrix and heatmap of the dataset looks like since PCA completely removes multicollinearity.
