This project demonstrates the application of Ridge and Lasso regression techniques on a housing dataset. The goal is to build predictive models that estimate housing prices based on various features.
The dataset used for this project is housingdata.csv. This dataset includes multiple features relevant to housing prices, such as the number of rooms, age of the property, distance to employment centers, and more. The dataset was taken from kaggle.
