Objective of project

The main objective of this project is to explore different methods in exploratory data analysis and feature engineering. In the project, you can find the following:

  • Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)
  • Feature Engineering
  • Model development

Dataset Credit

The data was collected from realtor.com and special thanks to Ahmed Shahriar Sakib for the efforts of mataining the dataset in Kaggle.

Conclusion

This exercise has mainly focused on EDA and feature engineering practices. After cleaning and preprocessing the given dataset, we then built a basic random forest model to estimate the house price. As we can see from the final results, we are able to obtain a pretty decent performance.

We can improve the performance by further hyperparameters tuning, instead of using default values for the model.

Please let me know your thoughts on this notebook, I would like to hear any advice and suggestions. Thanks for reading! Happy learning!
