Analysis of what sorts of people were likely to survive. In particular, this is going to predict which passengers survived the tragedy using Machine Learning approaches.
| Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| survival | Survival (0 = No; 1 = Yes) |
| pclass | Passenger Class (1 = 1st; 2 = 2nd; 3 = 3rd) |
| name | Name |
| sex | Sex |
| age | Age |
| sibsp | Number of Siblings/Spouses Aboard |
| parch | Number of Parents/Children Aboard |
| ticket | Ticket Number |
| fare | Passenger Fare |
| cabin | Cabin |
| embarked | Port of Embarkation (C = Cherbourg; Q = Queenstown; S = Southampton) |
SPECIAL NOTES:
- Pclass is a proxy for socio-economic status (SES) : 1st ~ Upper; 2nd ~ Middle; 3rd ~ Lower
- Age is in Years; Fractional if Age less than One (1). If the Age is Estimated, it is in the form xx.5
- With respect to the family relation variables (i.e. sibsp and parch), some relations were ignored. The following are the definitions used for sibsp and parch.
- Sibling: Brother, Sister, Stepbrother, or Stepsister of Passenger Aboard Titanic
- Spouse: Husband or Wife of Passenger Aboard Titanic (Mistresses and Fiances Ignored)
- Parent: Mother or Father of Passenger Aboard Titanic
- Child: Son, Daughter, Stepson, or Stepdaughter of Passenger Aboard Titanic
- Other family relatives excluded from this study include cousins, nephews/nieces, aunts/uncles, and in-laws. Some children travelled only with a nanny, therefore parch=0 for them. As well, some travelled with very close friends or neighbors in a village, however, the definitions do not support such relations.
