Insurance Charge Predictive Model

For our final group project we used the Medical Cost Personal Dataset to attempt to build a predictive model that forecasts insurance charge based on the patient's gender, BMI, number of children, smoking habit, and region. (https://www.kaggle.com/mirichoi0218/insurance/version/1#_=_)

Objective

  • Which variables are signficant in determining the amount a patient pays for insurance charges?
  • Which variables result in a greater insurance charge total?
  • Can we build a predictive model to predict insurance charges?

Our report includes more details regarding our methodologies and conclusion.
