Here is your test task

For this test task you need to build a model for predicting real estate prices. You may use any libraries and models (except auto ml and deep learning approaches). Description of fields are in data_description.txt file

Your aim is to demonstrate skills in data processing and writing of a correct, understandable code. You don’t have to be as precise as possible in your predictions.

Mandatory steps

  • Create a Jupyter notebook file to carry out all the further actions.
  • Open train.csv file as pandas Dataframe.
  • Choose a metric to evaluate the model and justify your choice
  • Transform data to the input format of the model
  • Train the model, evaluate its work
  • Using the model, make predictions from data with test.csv. Save the result to a prediction.csv file with two columns: Id and SalePrice (check out sample_prediction.csv as an example)

Optional steps

  • Conduct basic EDA data. Describe the main features that you should pay attention to
  • Conduct feature engineering, describe the characteristics obtained and the arguments for their use
  • Conduct feature selection
  • Carry out hyperparameter tuning

The result of the test task is a jupyter notebook file.
