A Look at the Project Ahead

• Problem formulation: defining the problem and understanding the business context.
• Data collection: gathering and acquiring data from various sources.
• Data preprocessing: cleaning, transforming, and preparing data for analysis.
• Exploratory data analysis: understanding the structure, contents, and patterns in the data through visualizations and summary statistics.
• Feature engineering: creating new features from the existing data.
• Model selection: choosing an appropriate model or algorithm for the problem.
• Model training: fitting the model to the data and tuning its hyperparameters.
• Model evaluation: assessing the performance of the model using appropriate metrics and techniques.

This comprehensive guide is hard to find on the internet and will equip you with a solid foundation in the data science process. After completing the project, you will be able to use real-world data to make predictions and apply machine learning algorithms to analyze and draw insights from data.
