Project Synopsis: Capstone Project Employee Attrition Prediction

This project synopsis describes building a classification model to predict employee attrition using data from the IBM HR Analytics Employee Attrition & Performance dataset. The aim is to help businesses retain talent by identifying factors that cause employees to leave. The project will select important features, apply feature engineering, compare multiple classification algorithms, and select the best model based on accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity metrics. R programming will be used for analytics on the dataset to predict the target variable of employee attrition using logistic regression, decision tree, support vector machine, and random forest algorithms. The best model achieved an accuracy of 87%.

PROJECT SYNOPSIS

Capstone Project
Employee Attrition Prediction
Submitted towards the partial fulfillment of the criteria for award of Genpact Data
Science Prodegree by Imarticus

Submitted By:

Debleena Mitra

Course and Batch: DSP 29 Feb-July 2020


Scope & Objective

The aim of the project is to build a classification model to predict which


employee is likely to churn and help the business to devise policies and
attract back the right talent.

Business Problem Statement

To uncover the factors that cause employees to leave the organization.

Feature Selection : Select the right features based on importance and


significance.
Feature Engineering: Apply feature engineering techniques to see how new
features can be created to improve the model. Check forInteraction.
Model Comparison:
Apply multiple classification algorithms and compare results.
Model Selection:
Select the best model. Model selection to be based on Accuracy, Sensitivity
& Specificity.

Data Sources

The dataset for IBM HR Analytics Employee Attrition & Performance:


URL:https://www.kaggle.com/pavansubhasht/ibm-hr-analytics-attrition-
dataset
Data contains different attributes of an employee and the target variable
Attrition. We use this dataset to predict employee churn

Analytics Tools

R programming Language

2
Analytics Approach

Logistic Regression, Decision Tree, Support Vector Machine and Random


Forest

KPIs, Timelines, Milestones

We have built models using different classification algorithms to predict


our target variable Employee Attrition. We then compare the models to
select the best out of them based on model accuracy which comes out to be
87%.
