1. Introduction

{}

In this section, we delve deeper into the topic. Machine learning (ML) algorithms, particularly those

used in regression tasks, play a significant role in predicting continuous outcomes. Predicting house

prices is a classic regression problem, involving multiple numerical and categorical input features

that influence the final output.

The data preprocessing step is crucial. Handling missing values, encoding categorical variables, and

normalizing features can greatly influence model performance. Techniques like One-Hot Encoding,

Label Encoding, and Standard Scaling are commonly used.

Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) reveals important patterns and relationships among features.

Visualizations such as heatmaps, boxplots, histograms, and pair plots help in understanding the

data distribution and detecting outliers.

We tested several algorithms:

- Linear Regression: Serves as a baseline model.

- Decision Trees: Easy to interpret and visualize.

- Random Forest: Reduces overfitting and improves performance.

- XGBoost: Highly efficient and widely used in competitions.

- Gradient Boosting: Combines weak learners to form a strong predictor.

Evaluation metrics include RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error), MAE (Mean Absolute Error), and

R-squared score. These help compare model performances and select the best.
 Major Project Report

Hyperparameter tuning was done using GridSearchCV and RandomizedSearchCV to find optimal

model settings. Cross-validation was applied to ensure the model generalizes well to unseen data.

The final model was validated on a test set, showing strong predictive power and robustness.

This project demonstrates the power of data science in real-world scenarios. By combining domain

knowledge, data preprocessing, visualization, model building, and evaluation, we can build a highly

accurate prediction system.

This approach can be extended to other regression problems like predicting stock prices, car prices,

or medical costs.{}

5. Methodology

{}

In this section, we delve deeper into the topic. Machine learning (ML) algorithms, particularly those

used in regression tasks, play a significant role in predicting continuous outcomes. Predicting house

prices is a classic regression problem, involving multiple numerical and categorical input features

that influence the final output.

The data preprocessing step is crucial. Handling missing values, encoding categorical variables, and

normalizing features can greatly influence model performance. Techniques like One-Hot Encoding,

Label Encoding, and Standard Scaling are commonly used.

Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) reveals important patterns and relationships among features.

Visualizations such as heatmaps, boxplots, histograms, and pair plots help in understanding the

data distribution and detecting outliers.

We tested several algorithms:

- Linear Regression: Serves as a baseline model.

- Decision Trees: Easy to interpret and visualize.

- Random Forest: Reduces overfitting and improves performance.

- XGBoost: Highly efficient and widely used in competitions.

- Gradient Boosting: Combines weak learners to form a strong predictor.

Label Encoding, and Standard Scaling are commonly used.

Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) reveals important patterns and relationships among features.

Visualizations such as heatmaps, boxplots, histograms, and pair plots help in understanding the

data distribution and detecting outliers.

We tested several algorithms:

- Linear Regression: Serves as a baseline model.

- Decision Trees: Easy to interpret and visualize.

- Random Forest: Reduces overfitting and improves performance.

- XGBoost: Highly efficient and widely used in competitions.

- Gradient Boosting: Combines weak learners to form a strong predictor.

Evaluation metrics include RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error), MAE (Mean Absolute Error), and

R-squared score. These help compare model performances and select the best.

Hyperparameter tuning was done using GridSearchCV and RandomizedSearchCV to find optimal

model settings. Cross-validation was applied to ensure the model generalizes well to unseen data.

The final model was validated on a test set, showing strong predictive power and robustness.

This project demonstrates the power of data science in real-world scenarios. By combining domain

knowledge, data preprocessing, visualization, model building, and evaluation, we can build a highly

accurate prediction system.
