6.1 Project 1: Feature Engineering for Predictive Analytics

This project will focus on applying feature engineering techniques to a dataset to improve the performance of a predictive machine learning model. Feature engineering is crucial for making raw data usable for machine learning algorithms by transforming it into meaningful features that improve model performance.

Project Overview

In this project, we will:

1. Explore and preprocess the dataset.
2. Apply various feature engineering techniques such as handling missing values, encoding categorical variables, scaling features, and creating new features.
3. Build a predictive model using the transformed data to demonstrate the impact of feature engineering on model performance.
4. Evaluate the performance ...
