Zillow Home Value Prediction
Zestimate is a tool that provides the worth of the house based on various attributes like public data, sales data, etc. Zestimate has information of more than 97 million homes. Zestimate is the first step to analyze the worth of a house or to check if the value has been appraised or not after newly upgrading your home, or maybe you just want to refinance it. The algorithm behind Zestimate gets its data 3 times a week, on the basis of comparable sales and publicly available data.
Building a model to improve the Zestimate residual error which is called “log error” which is the difference between the log of Zestimate price and the log of the actual sales price
log error = log(Zestimate) — log(SalePrice)

Iris Flowers Classification
Iris flower classification is a very popular machine learning project. The iris dataset contains three classes of flowers, Versicolor, Setosa, Virginica, and each class contains 4 features, ‘Sepal length’, ‘Sepal width’, ‘Petal length’, ‘Petal width’. The aim of the iris flower classification is to predict flowers based on their specific features.
Machine Learning project Workflow:
1. Importing the libraries
You'll be using numpy, matplotlib, seaborn, pandas, and scikit-learn. You can find a source code of the iris flower classification for download here with opencv.
2. Analyze and visualize the dataset
sns.pairplot(df, hue='Class_labels')
# Separate features and target
data = df.values
X = data[:,0:4]
Y = data[:,4]
# Calculate average of each features for all classes
Y_Data = np.array([np.average(X[:, i][Y==j].astype('float32')) for i in range (X.shape[1])
for j in (np.unique(Y))])
Y_Data_reshaped = Y_Data.reshape(4, 3)
Y_Data_reshaped = np.swapaxes(Y_Data_reshaped, 0, 1)
X_axis = np.arange(len(columns)-1)
width = 0.25
plt.bar(X_axis, Y_Data_reshaped[0], width, label = 'Setosa')
plt.bar(X_axis+width, Y_Data_reshaped[1], width, label = 'Versicolour')
plt.bar(X_axis+width*2, Y_Data_reshaped[2], width, label = 'Virginica')
plt.xticks(X_axis, columns[:4])
plt.xlabel("Features")
plt.ylabel("Value in cm.")
plt.legend(bbox_to_anchor=(1.3,1))
plt.show()
3. Model training
Here you want to split the whole data into training and testing datasets. The testing dataset will be used to check the accuracy of the model. You feed the training dataset into the algorithm.
4. Model evaluation
Now you predict the classes from the test dataset from the trained model and check the accuracy score of the predicted classes.
5. Testing the model
Instagram Reach Analysis and Prediction
Here is a dataset you can use for this project. There's even a paper on this topic found here.
Machine Learning project Workflow:
1. Building the dataset
You'll be using libraries such as pandas, numpy, matplotlib, seaborn, plotly, wordcloud, sklearn, etc.
2. The scraper
Instagram's API has a limit of 60 requests/hour to their backend servers. You'll want a scraper to linearly scan the latest posts of a user, then opens each post to retrieve more granular information related to each image.
3. Dataset analysis
If you are using the dataset provided above (here's the link), then let's start from here.
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
import plotly.express as px
from wordcloud import WordCloud, STOPWORDS, ImageColorGenerator
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
from sklearn.linear_model import PassiveAggressiveRegressor
Run this to check if the dataset contains null values:
data.isnull().sum()
And this should be the output:
Impressions 1
From Home 1
From Hashtags 1
From Explore 1
From Other 1
Saves 1
Comments 1
Shares 1
Likes 1
Profile Visits 1
Follows 1
Caption 1
Hashtags 1
dtype: int64
When you get null values, you'll want to drop them by running data = data.dropna(). Next:
data = pd.read_csv("Instagram.csv", encoding = 'latin1')
print(data.head())
You'll get something like this...
Impressions From Home From Hashtags From Explore From Other Saves \
0 3920.0 2586.0 1028.0 619.0 56.0 98.0

4. Visualizing data
To get different plots, you can run:
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 8))
plt.title("Distribution of Impressions From Hashtags")
sns.distplot(data['From Hashtags'])
plt.show()
and/or
home = data["From Home"].sum()
hashtags = data["From Hashtags"].sum()
explore = data["From Explore"].sum()
other = data["From Other"].sum()
labels = ['From Home','From Hashtags','From Explore','Other']
values = [home, hashtags, explore, other]
fig = px.pie(data, values=values, names=labels, title='Impressions on Instagram Posts From Various Sources', hole=0.5)
fig.show()
and/or
text = " ".join(i for i in data.Caption)
stopwords = set(STOPWORDS)
wordcloud = WordCloud(stopwords=stopwords, background_color="white").generate(text)
plt.style.use('classic')
plt.figure( figsize=(12,10))
plt.imshow(wordcloud, interpolation='bilinear')
plt.axis("off")
plt.show()
5. Prediction Model
You'll want to split the data into training and test sets.
x = np.array(data[['Likes', 'Saves', 'Comments', 'Shares', 'Profile Visits', 'Follows']])
y = np.array(data["Impressions"])
xtrain, xtest, ytrain, ytest = train_test_split(x, y,
test_size=0.2,
random_state=42)
Then predict the reach of an Instagram post by giving inputs into the ML model.
Check thecleverprogrammer for the full code.

Stock Prices Predictor using TimeSeries
where P1 to Pn are n immediate data points that occur before the present, so to predict the present data point, we take the SMA of the size n (meaning that we see up to n data points in the past).
where Pt is the price at time t and k is the weight given to that data point. EMA(t-1) represents the value computed from the past t-1 points. Clearly, this would perform better than a simple MA. The weight k is computed as k = 2/(N+1).
Looking closely at the formula of RMSE, we can see how we will be able to consider the difference (or error) between the actual (At) and predicted (Ft) price values for all N timestamps and get an absolute measure of error.
On the other hand, MAPE looks at the error concerning the true value – it will measure relatively how far off the predicted values are from the truth instead of considering the actual difference. This is a good measure to keep the error ranges in check if we deal with too large or small values. For instance, RMSE for values in the range of 10e6 might blow out of proportion, whereas MAPE will keep error in a fixed range.

y="tip", size="size", color= "day", trendline="ols")
figure.show()
figure = px.pie(data, values='tip', names='day',hole = 0.5)
figure.show()
3. Prediction Model
You'll want to format your data first:
data["sex"] = data["sex"].map({"Female": 0, "Male": 1})
data["smoker"] = data["smoker"].map({"No": 0, "Yes": 1})
data["day"] = data["day"].map({"Thur": 0, "Fri": 1, "Sat": 2, "Sun": 3})
data["time"] = data["time"].map({"Lunch": 0, "Dinner": 1})
data.head()
Then split your data into training and test sets:
x = np.array(data[["total_bill", "sex", "smoker", "day", "time", "size"]])
y = np.array(data["tip"])
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
xtrain, xtest, ytrain, ytest = train_test_split(x, y,
test_size=0.2,
random_state=42)
