 ABSTRACT
This project explores the question of how house prices in different counties are affected
by housing characteristics (both internally, such as number of bathrooms, bedrooms, etc. and
externally, such as public schools’ scores or the walkability score of the neighborhood). The
train data and test data are provided by Kaggle. The prediction target is the Sale Price of a house
given its features such as area, no of bedrooms, year built in and so on. The model is evaluated
on the root mean square error between your predictions and the truth value.

It is always a good idea to utilize the data provided in its original form to build a model and
understand what accuracy you are starting off at. This can serve as a starting point from where
on future models can be optimized. I used RandomForestRegressor from the scikit-learn library
on the training set as benchmark. Random Forest is a tree based machine learning algorithm
which is robust to overfitting. This is because it is an aggregation of imperfect decision trees.
When the predictions of all the trees are averaged, the imperfections get minimized. This is
called bagging.

Using data provided in the test and the train dataset collected from the various websites, this
project utilizes both the hedonic pricing model (Linear Regression) and various machine
learning algorithms, such as Random Forest (RF) and Support Vector Regression (SVR), to
predict house prices. The models’ prediction scores, as well as the ratio of overestimated
houses to underestimated houses are compared against Zillow’s price estimation scores and
ratio. Results show that RF gives a better price prediction score than the Zillow’s baseline on
the same dataset of Hunt County (TX) and RF gives close or the same prediction scores to the
baseline on three other counties. Moreover, this paper’s models reduce the overestimated to
underestimated house ratio of 3:2 from Zillow’s estimation to a ratio of 1:1. This paper also
identifies the four most important attributes in housing price prediction across the counties as
assessment, comparable houses’ sold price, listed price and number of bathrooms.

 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
First and foremost, we wish to express my profound gratitude to Mr. Manoj Dhiman,
Chief Mentor, TCIL-IT, Chandigarh and for giving us the opportunity to carry out our project
at TCIL-IT. We find great pleasure to express our unfeigned thanks to our trainer Mr. Jitender
Kumar for his invaluable guidance, support and useful suggestions at every stage of this
project work.

No words can express out deep sense of gratitude to Mr. Jitender, without whom this project
would not have turned up this way. Our heart felt thanks to him for his immense help and
support, useful discussions and valuable recommendations throughout the course of my
project work.

We wish to thank our respected faculty and our classmates for their support.

Last but not the least we thank the almighty for enlightening us with his blessings.

 PREFACE
In the 60 days’ summer training we study about so many languages and then we chose
to learn Machine Learning (with Python) in our summer training used because it is easy to
manage, and it is object oriented and availability of debugging tools. And then we are start to
search the best institute who give us summer training in Python. Then we found that TCIL-IT
is the best company who deal in the Python. Then we start our 60 days’ summer training from
TCIL-IT. First we learn how to make basic programs in Python. Then we start Machine
Leraning concepts with Python. Machine Learning is a field of Artificial Intelligence that
uses statistical techniques to give computer systems the ability to computer systems to learn
from the given dataset, without being explicitly programmed. After 60 days training we are
able to develop applications in Python. In 60 days’ training we implement this technology to
Automation system for house loan predictor.

Keywords: Python, Machine Learning, House price predictor.
