Based on AirBnB data from 2010 to 2020 with 16 variables and over 25,000 data points we:- Cleaned the data, turning our dates into actual dates, certain variables into factors, and prepping our data for visualization-Visualize the data from AirBnB to get a better understanding of booking trends and, performance of hosts, and possible relationships between price and other variables. These included scatterplots, bar charts, and choropleth maps.- Create a predictive model that… Show more Based on AirBnB data from 2010 to 2020 with 16 variables and over 25,000 data points we:- Cleaned the data, turning our dates into actual dates, certain variables into factors, and prepping our data for visualization-Visualize the data from AirBnB to get a better understanding of booking trends and, performance of hosts, and possible relationships between price and other variables. These included scatterplots, bar charts, and choropleth maps.- Create a predictive model that accurately predicts the price of AirBnB listings based on the variables at hand. I created a multiple models (CART, linear, and Random Forest) and picked the best model based on the one with the lowest RMSE. Final model utilized Linear Regresssion and had an RMSE of $50 with variables such as neighborhood, room type, and more. Show less
