Walmart Sales Forecasting Kaggle Competition and the Consumer Confidence IndexThe project objective is to measure the machine learning model performance improvement when additional outside data is added to the base dataset and determine which data features have the largest influence on weekly sales. Tools used include: Pandas, Seaborn, XGBoost and RandomForest Regressors, and Tableau. The result is the consumer confidence index has minimal improvement in mean average error. In addition, store size and several departments had largest influence on forecasting weekly sales.2. Predicting 2020 US Life Expectancy at BirthThe project objective is to predict 2020 US Life Expectancy at Birth from education attainment, income, unemployment, and poverty data. Tools used include: logistic and decision tree regression models, GridSearchCV, and Seaborn. I determined the best performing prediction model is the Random Forest Regressor with an RMSE = 3.419150. Furthermore, the RandomForest Regressor found that 2019 Median Household Income feature had the most influence on the US Life Expectancy at Birth in 2020.
