🏠 House-Price-Prediction-ML

A Machine Learning regression project for predicting housing prices using data preprocessing, feature engineering, and performance evaluation metrics.

📌 Overview

This project implements a supervised Machine Learning model to predict house prices based on various input features such as area, number of rooms, and other housing attributes.

The goal is to build a complete ML workflow including:

• Data cleaning and preprocessing
• Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)
• Feature engineering
• Model training using regression algorithms
• Model evaluation using performance metrics

📊 Dataset

The dataset contains housing-related features and a target variable representing house prices.

Files included:

• data.csv – Housing dataset
• housing.names – Dataset attribute description
• ML House Prediction.ipynb – Jupyter Notebook implementation

⚙️ Technologies Used

• Python
• NumPy
• Pandas
• Matplotlib / Seaborn
• Scikit-learn
• Jupyter Notebook

🧠 Machine Learning Workflow

1️⃣ Data Preprocessing

• Handling missing values
• Feature scaling (if applied)
• Encoding categorical variables (if any)

2️⃣ Model Training

Regression algorithms such as:

• Linear Regression
• (Other models if implemented)

3️⃣ Model Evaluation

Performance metrics used:

• MAE (Mean Absolute Error)
• MSE (Mean Squared Error)
• RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error)
• R² Score

📈 Results

The model was evaluated on the test dataset using standard regression metrics.

Since MEDV represents house prices in $1000s, the RMSE value indicates that the model's predictions are on average off by approximately $2,949.
The R² score of 0.8771 shows that the model explains about 87.71% of the variance in housing prices.
