| 1 | +# Advanced House Price Prediction Model |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +This project focuses on predicting house prices using advanced machine learning techniques. The model is trained on a dataset containing various features related to houses (e.g., square footage, number of rooms, location) to estimate the selling price. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Features |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +- *Preprocessing*: Handles missing values, outliers, and categorical data. |
| 8 | +- *Feature Engineering*: Adds relevant new features to improve model performance. |
| 9 | +- *Modeling*: Uses multiple models including Linear Regression, Decision Trees, Random Forest, and Gradient Boosting. |
| 10 | +- *Evaluation*: Assesses the model's performance using metrics like RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error) and R² (coefficient of determination). |
| 11 | + |
| 12 | +## Dataset |
| 13 | + |
| 14 | +The dataset contains features such as: |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +- *Lot Area*: Size of the lot in square feet |
| 17 | +- *Year Built*: Year the house was constructed |
| 18 | +- *Overall Quality*: Material and finish quality |
| 19 | +- *Total Rooms*: Number of rooms excluding bathrooms |
| 20 | +- *Neighborhood*: The physical location of the property |
| 21 | +- *Sale Price*: The target variable for prediction |

| 23 | +## Setup |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +1. Clone the repository: |
| 26 | + bash |
| 27 | + git clone https://github.com/recodehive/house-price-prediction.git |
| 28 | +2. Navigate to the project directory: |
| 29 | + bash |
| 30 | + cd house-price-prediction |
| 31 | +3. Install dependencies: |
| 32 | + bash |
| 33 | + pip install -r requirements.txt |
| 34 | +4. Run the model: |
| 35 | + bash |
| 36 | + python main.py |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +## Model Training |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +The model uses the following steps: |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | +1. Data Preprocessing: Imputing missing values, scaling numerical features, encoding categorical variables. |
| 43 | +2. Feature Selection: Selecting the most important features to reduce overfitting. |
| 44 | +3. Training: Training multiple models to compare their performances. |
| 45 | +3. Evaluation: Checking accuracy using cross-validation and other metrics. |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +## Results |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +The model achieved a RMSE of X and R² of Y on the test dataset. Gradient Boosting performed the best, followed by Random Forest. |
