Capstone Project Proposal

The capstone project aims to predict employee attrition at IBM by analyzing factors that lead to attrition using IBM HR data from Kaggle. The client is the IBM HR director who wants to understand and reduce attrition. The data will be analyzed using machine learning following steps like data preparation, feature engineering, model training and evaluation, and parameter tuning to predict attrition. Deliverables will include a paper, presentation, and code.

Capstone Project Proposal

1. What is the problem you want to solve?


I want to predict the attrition of the company’s valuable employees,
Uncover the factors that lead to employee attrition and explore important
questions such as ‘show me a breakdown of distance from home by job
role and attrition’ or ‘compare average monthly income by education and
attrition’.

2. Who is your client and why do they care about this problem? In
other words, what will your client do or decide based on your analysis
that they wouldn’t have otherwise?
My client is IBM human resources director. He is trying to figure out
the roots of employee attrition and improve the performance of company.
For that, he focuses on defining the parameters which cause the employee
attrition via proactive approach and tries to overcome that/those with the
project’s outcome.

3. What data are you going to use for this? How will you acquire
this data?
I will use IBM HR Analytics Employee Attrition & Performance data
from Kaggle, which is created by IBM data scientists. It has 1470 rows x 35
columns and contains numeric and categorical data types in columns.

Data Source:
https://www.kaggle.com/pavansubhasht/ibm-hr-analytics-attrition-dataset

4. In brief, outline your approach to solving this problem (knowing


that this might change later).
I will approach this machine learning project by following the steps
below:
a. Create a repository in Github (in addition, create google driver to use
shareable documents with my mentor)
b. Gather the data from Kaggle and load it into Python.
c. Analyze the data to determine the data quality
1
d. Prepare the data:
(1) Clean that which may require it (remove duplicates, deal with missing
values, correct errors, normalization, data type conversions, etc.)
(2) Randomize data, which erases the effects of the particular order
(3) Visualize data to help detect relevant relationships between
variables and perform exploratory analysis.
e. Feature engineering and selection
f. Split the data as training and test data
g. Choose a machine learning algorithm
h. Train the model
i. Evaluate the model
j. Parameter Tuning
k. Make predictions.
l. Prepare a report

5. What are your deliverables? Typically, this would include code,


along with a paper and/or a slide deck.
My deliverables will be a paper, a PowerPoint presentation
summarizing my paper, and the code associated with my project.
