Bike Sharing Demand Prediction
- Developed a regression model using algorithms such as Ridge Regression, Random Forest, and XGBoost to predict the hourly demand of bikes and reduce the public waiting time.- Designed the data pipeline to work on, understanding the impact of features such as time of the day, weather condition, holidays and engineered important features for the model.-Tested various hypotheses, imputed missing values, encoded categorical columns, handled outliers, checked multicollinearity, and performed PCA to reduce the dimensionality.- Experimented with hyperparameter tuning techniques such as Random Search and Bayesian Optimization and achieved an R2 score of 87% using the XGBoost model and reduced the public waiting time by 10%.
