Apartment Pricing: Model Development, Training, and Predictions

Welcome to the final part of the project series “Apartment Pricing: Advanced Regression Techniques.” 

I highly recommend visiting previous posts in this series:

You can find all the working shown in this series at my GitHub repository here.

Introduction

So, this is all we’ve been building up to, Predicting prices. 

To reach this stage, we covered the following stages of a data science project lifecycle:

  1. Business Understanding
  2. Data Acquisition
  3. Data Preparation
  4. Data Visualization & Exploratory Analysis

In the final part of the series, we will see how we can:

  1. Final tuning of our dataset
  2. Divide our dataset into training and testing samples
  3. Training our machine learning models
  4. Testing those models
  5. Output our results

Apartment Pricing: Data Visualization & Exploratory Analysis

Welcome to part two of the project series “Apartment Pricing: Advanced Regression Techniques.” 

I highly recommend checking part one of the series here, if you have not already. All the working shown below can be found at my GitHub repository here. You can also view the interactive notebook here.

Introduction

In part one of this project series, we discussed our business understanding related to the project and then moved forward to the data extraction phase. After extracting approximately 2000 properties, we started preparing the data for our data visualization and exploratory analysis phase, and ultimately for our machine learning model development.

Now that our data is tinkered as per our need let’s begin.

Introduction

This project is inspired by a famous Kaggle competition called House Prices: Advanced Regression Techniques.  The original project on Kaggle is based on the Boston Housing dataset and is an ideal project for newbies to hone their skills on.

The original project on Kaggle gives you full opportunity to practice data cleaning, exploratory analysis, and modeling. However, one aspect of the data science project lifecycle was missing, i.e., data scavenging and extraction. The data is already extracted for you, and you don’t know how the information was gathered.

My objective was to achieve the same goals of the original project, but by doing so, using my dataset. Instead of Boston housing, I started looking into the Dubai real estate market and opted to use one of the prominent real estate property portals for my data extraction.
