Welcome to my Data Science Projects repository! This repository contains a collection of data science projects that I've worked on, showcasing my skills and expertise in the field.
- Description:
The Medical Cost Personal Datasets is a public dataset used in the book "Machine Learning with R" by Brett Lantz. The dataset has been cleaned and recoded to match the format in the book. It contains information about medical insurance charges for individuals based on various factors. The original dataset is available on Kaggle Medical Cost Personal Datasets.
- Objective of the Analysis:
The objective of this analysis is to predict medical insurance charges for individuals using the provided dataset. By exploring the relationships between variables such as age, gender, BMI, number of children, smoking status, residential region, and medical costs, we aim to develop a predictive model that can accurately estimate insurance charges. This analysis will employ various regression algorithms and evaluate their performance to identify the most effective model for predicting insurance costs. By accomplishing this objective, we can gain insights into the factors that significantly impact medical insurance charges and potentially contribute to more accurate cost estimations in the insurance industry.
Inspiration: The main inspiration behind this project is to leverage machine learning techniques to accurately predict insurance costs. By exploring the relationships between various factors and individual medical charges, we aim to build a model that can provide valuable predictions for insurance companies and individuals alike. The outcomes of this analysis can have practical applications in cost estimation, risk assessment, and informed decision-making in the insurance domain.
Throughout this project, we will follow a structured approach, including data exploration and preprocessing, univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses, as well as implementing and evaluating multiple regression algorithms. The goal is to develop a robust predictive model that accurately estimates medical insurance charges based on the available dataset.

- Description:
In the telecommunications industry, customer churn, or the rate at which customers leave a service, is a crucial metric that impacts the company's revenue and growth. Understanding the factors that lead to customer churn and predicting potential churners can help the company take proactive measures to retain valuable customers.
- Objective of the Analysis:
The main objective of this analysis is to build a predictive model using logistic regression to identify customers who are likely to churn based on historical data. By predicting potential churners, the telecom company can implement targeted retention strategies, offer personalized promotions, or address customer concerns, ultimately reducing churn rates and enhancing customer loyalty.

- Description:
In the realm of ecological studies, understanding the intricate relationships within animal communities is paramount. One captivating example of such interactions is the dolphin social network. Dolphins, as highly social creatures, exhibit patterns of association that can shed light on their social structures and behaviors.
- Objective of the Analysis:
The primary objective of this analysis is to delve into the social network dynamics of a community of 62 dolphins residing off Doubtful Sound, New Zealand. By exploring their frequent associations, we aim to uncover insights into the connectivity, relationships, and potential communities within this dolphin population.
- Research question:
"How do dolphins form associations and interact within their community, and what insights can these interactions provide about their social dynamics?"

4. Project 4: Investigating the Impact of Climate Change on Bird Populations: A Multifaceted Analysis
- Description:
Climate change, driven largely by human activities such as greenhouse gas emissions, is a pressing global challenge with far-reaching consequences for ecosystems and biodiversity.
Among the numerous species affected by these changes, birds play a crucial role as bioindicators and ecological indicators. Their diverse behaviors, migratory patterns, and sensitivity to environmental conditions make them valuable subjects for studying the impacts of climate change on wildlife.
Identifying vulnerable species and regions can help prioritize targeted conservation strategies and foster a deeper comprehension of ecosystem dynamics in the context of changing climates.
- Objective of the Analysis:
The primary objective of this analysis is to investigate the impact of climate change on bird populations using logistic regression. Leveraging the rich and comprehensive bird occurrence data available from GBIF and relevant climate variables, we aim to discern patterns and understand how changing climatic conditions influence the distribution and abundance of bird species.
- Research question:
"Can we build a predictive model (e.g., logistic regression) to estimate the likelihood of observing a certain number of individuals of a species based on climate variables? How well can the model predict changes in bird populations?"

- Description:
Our project revolves around the development and deployment of a predictive model designed to estimate property prices in different neighborhoods across New York City. Leveraging a comprehensive dataset encompassing various property attributes and historical transaction data, we employ machine learning algorithms to build an accurate predictive model. The deployment aspect of the project involves making this model accessible via a web-based platform, allowing stakeholders to obtain property price estimates in real-time.
- Objective of the Analysis:
The primary objective of our project is to deploy a robust predictive model for estimating housing prices in New York City. Specifically, our goals include:
Developing an accurate machine learning model capable of predicting property prices based on relevant features such as location, size, and amenities. Implementing a user-friendly web interface for accessing the deployed model, enabling stakeholders to obtain property price estimates seamlessly. Providing a valuable tool for homebuyers, sellers, investors, and other stakeholders to make informed decisions in the dynamic New York housing market.
- Research question:
The central focus of our project centers on addressing the following research question:
"How can we deploy a predictive model effectively to estimate property prices in the diverse and competitive real estate market of New York City, and how will stakeholders benefit from its implementation?"

6. Project 6: Cab Industry Analysis Project: Data Exploration, Hypothesis Testing, and Strategic Recommendations
- Description:
In recent years, the cab industry in the United States has experienced significant growth, with multiple key players emerging in the market. As a result, private firms like XYZ are exploring investment opportunities within this sector. In line with their Go-to-Market (G2M) strategy, XYZ seeks to thoroughly understand the market dynamics before making any investment decisions.
- Objective of the Analysis:
The primary objective of this project is to provide actionable insights to XYZ, aiding them in identifying the most suitable cab company for potential investment. To achieve this goal, we will conduct a comprehensive analysis of multiple datasets spanning the period from January 31, 2016, to December 31, 2018.

- Description:
In this project, we tackle the task of document classification, a fundamental problem in supervised machine learning. Document classification involves assigning categories to text documents, such as news articles, emails, or forum posts. Our aim is to demonstrate how machine learning techniques can be applied to classify documents accurately and efficiently.
- Objective of the Analysis:
The primary objective of this project is to develop a robust document classification system using the 20 Newsgroups dataset. This dataset consists of approximately 20,000 documents, divided into 20 different newsgroups. Our goal is to train a machine learning model that can accurately classify documents into their respective newsgroups based on their content. This system has applications in various domains, including spam filtering, email routing, and sentiment analysis.
