Dependencies

• pandas: Data manipulation and analysis
• numpy: Numerical computing
• scikit-learn: Machine learning algorithms
• matplotlib: Data visualization
• seaborn: Statistical data visualization
• joblib: Model serialization and persistence
• streamlit: Web application framework

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd cars

2. Create a virtual environment (recommended):

   python -m venv venv
   venv\Scripts\activate  # On Windows
   # source venv/bin/activate  # On macOS/Linux

3. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Data Ingestion

Run the data ingestion script to load and process the raw data:

python src/data_ingestion.py

Exploratory Data Analysis

Open and run the Jupyter notebook for detailed exploratory analysis:

jupyter notebook notebooks/EDA.ipynb

Run the Web Application

Launch the Streamlit web application:

streamlit run app.py

Project Workflow

1. Data Ingestion (src/data_ingestion.py): Load raw data from CSV files.
2. Preprocessing (src/preprocessing.py): Clean and prepare data.
3. Feature Engineering (src/feature_engineering.py): Create new features.
4. Model Training (src/model_trainer.py): Train machine learning models.
5. Visualization: Use Streamlit app or Jupyter notebooks for analysis.

Key Features

• Automated data pipeline for loading and processing.
• Comprehensive exploratory data analysis.
• Feature engineering for improved model performance.
• Machine learning model training and evaluation.
• Interactive web interface using Streamlit.

Data

The project uses the Cars Dataset 2025, containing automotive information including:

• Vehicle specifications
• Performance metrics
• Price information
