  2. Import the CSV dataset into R.
  3. Display the first few records and examine the structure of the dataset.
  4. Identify the dependent variable and suitable independent variables.
  5. Check the dataset for missing values and perform necessary preprocessing.
  6. Select suitable numerical features such as area, bedrooms, bathrooms, parking, or other available variables.
  7. Perform exploratory analysis using summary statistics and suitable plots.
  8. Develop a Multiple Linear Regression model to predict house prices.
  9. Display and interpret the regression coefficients.
  10. Obtain the predicted values and residuals.
  11. Evaluate the model using suitable measures such as:
  • R-squared
  • Adjusted R-squared
  • MAE
  • RMSE
  1. Compare the actual and predicted house prices using a suitable visualization.
  2. Use the developed model to predict the price of a new house with specified characteristics.
  3. Write a brief conclusion based on the results obtained.

Problem 2: Medical Insurance Cost Prediction Using Multiple Linear Regression

Problem Statement

Tasks to be Performed

  1. Download a suitable Medical Insurance dataset from Kaggle.
  2. Import the CSV dataset into R.
  3. Examine the dataset using appropriate functions.
  4. Identify the target variable representing insurance charges.
  5. Identify suitable predictor variables such as:
    • Age
    • BMI
    • Number of children
    • Smoking status
    • Other relevant features available in the dataset
  6. Check for missing values and perform necessary preprocessing.
  7. Convert categorical variables into appropriate formats where required.
  8. Perform exploratory data analysis using summary statistics and suitable plots.
  9. Develop a Multiple Linear Regression model to predict insurance charges.
  10. Examine and interpret the regression coefficients.
  11. Generate predicted insurance charges for the observations.
  12. Calculate residuals and analyze the prediction errors.
  13. Evaluate the regression model using:
  • R-squared
  • Adjusted R-squared
  • MAE
  • RMSE
  1. Compare actual and predicted insurance charges using a suitable plot.
  2. Predict the insurance charge for a new customer with given characteristics.
  3. Write a conclusion about the usefulness and performance of the developed model.

Problem 3: Customer Purchase Prediction Using Logistic Regression

Problem Statement

A marketing company wants to predict whether a customer will purchase a product or not based on customer characteristics. Download a suitable Customer Purchase or Social Network Advertisement dataset from Kaggle and perform classification using Logistic Regression in R.

Tasks to be Performed

  1. Download a suitable Customer Purchase dataset from Kaggle in CSV format.
  2. Import the dataset into R.
  3. Display the first few records and examine the structure of the dataset.
  4. Identify the dependent variable representing whether a customer purchased the product.
  5. Identify suitable predictor variables such as:
    • Age
    • Estimated Salary
    • Other relevant customer characteristics
  6. Check for missing values and perform necessary preprocessing.
  7. Convert the target variable into an appropriate binary format if required.
  8. Perform exploratory analysis of the dataset using suitable statistical summaries and plots.
  9. Develop a Binary Logistic Regression model to predict whether a customer will purchase the product.
  10. Obtain the predicted probabilities for each observation.
  11. Convert the predicted probabilities into class labels using an appropriate threshold.
  12. Compare the predicted classes with the actual classes.
  13. Create a confusion matrix.
  14. Calculate suitable classification performance measures such as:
  • Accuracy
  • Precision
  • Recall/Sensitivity
  • Specificity
  1. Use the developed model to predict the purchase decision for a new customer.
  2. Write a brief conclusion based on the classification results.
