This page provides an overview of the housing prediction project using Python. It covers the basic concepts, tools, and techniques used in the project.

Project Overview

The housing prediction project aims to predict the price of houses based on various features. This is a common problem in the field of machine learning and data science.

Tools and Technologies

  • Python: The primary programming language used for the project.
  • Pandas: For data manipulation and analysis.
  • Scikit-learn: For building and evaluating machine learning models.
  • Matplotlib: For data visualization.

Dataset

The project uses a popular dataset called "House Prices: Advanced Regression Techniques" from Kaggle.

Steps

  1. Data Exploration: Understand the dataset, its features, and their relationships.
  2. Data Preprocessing: Clean and transform the data into a format suitable for modeling.
  3. Feature Engineering: Create new features that might improve model performance.
  4. Modeling: Train different regression models and evaluate their performance.
  5. Prediction: Use the best model to predict housing prices.

Model Evaluation

The project evaluates the models using various metrics such as Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Mean Squared Error (MSE), and R-squared.

Best Practices

  • Use cross-validation to assess model performance.
  • Avoid overfitting by using appropriate model complexity.
  • Regularly visualize data and model outputs for insights.
