HOUSE PRICE PREDICTION

Overview BRIEF

Build a supervised regression machine learning model to estimate residential real estate market valuations based on key structural and geographic parameters like square footage, room count, neighborhood location, year constructed, and overall quality index.

Tools & Skills Required CONCEPTS APPLIED

Python (Pandas, NumPy) Scikit-learn (Sklearn) Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) Data Imputation & Outlier Cleaning One-Hot Encoding & Feature Scaling Multiple Linear Regression Decision Trees & Random Forest Regressor Evaluation (MAE, RMSE, R² Score) Train/Test Cross-Validation

Target & Key Features SPECIFICATION

✓
Multi-Feature Regression Pipeline: Clean raw tabular property data, impute missing values, scale continuous variables (StandardScaler), and encode categorical location neighborhoods.
✓
Feature Correlation & Weight Analysis: Compute Pearson correlation matrices between square footage, bedroom count, lot area, overall condition, and target property sales price.
✓
Model Benchmarking & Residual Diagnostics: Compare baseline Linear Regression against ensemble Tree Regressors using R² variance, MAE, and normal residual distribution plots.
✓
Real Estate Valuation Inference: Provide an interactive prediction vector that takes new house parameters and computes estimated dollar valuation along with confidence interval boundaries.
