Feasibility study of machine learning How to know whether machine learning is possible for a given data set. I have been given a data set, I should check whether machine learning is possible or not for that data set. How can I do that. How do you come to conclusion that machine learning can be performed for the given data set or not.
For this feasibility study, following will be high level steps :


For each feature perform PCA with rest of the features as train_x and feature as train_y. If you find a feature that can be predicted by other features; ML can be applied on Dataset 
Can a Human solve it ? As a person; can you find patterns for a given feature, based on other features ?
