Regression Using Real-World Datasets
Problem 1: House Price Prediction Using Multiple Linear Regression
Problem Statement
A real estate company wants to develop a model to predict the price of a house based on its characteristics. Download a suitable House Price/Housing dataset from Kaggle in CSV format and perform regression analysis using R.
Tasks to be Performed
- Download a suitable housing dataset from Kaggle.
- Import the CSV dataset into R.
- Display the first few records and examine the structure of the dataset.
- Identify the dependent variable and suitable independent variables.
- Check the dataset for missing values and perform necessary preprocessing.
- Select suitable numerical features such as area, bedrooms, bathrooms, parking, or other available variables.
- Perform exploratory analysis using summary statistics and suitable plots.
- Develop a Multiple Linear Regression model to predict house prices.
- Display and interpret the regression coefficients.
- Obtain the predicted values and residuals.
- Evaluate the model using suitable measures such as:
- R-squared
- Adjusted R-squared
- MAE
- RMSE
- Compare the actual and predicted house prices using a suitable visualization.
- Use the developed model to predict the price of a new house with specified characteristics.
- Write a brief conclusion based on the results obtained.
