1. Objective: We want to predict median home value in a region based on housing value related predictor fields. 2. License: Free to use. 3. Data Source: https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/Housing 4. DataSet Info: Housing values in suburbs of Boston where we have 506 records. 5. Field Meanings: A. crime_rate: Per capita crime rate by town B. land_zone: Proportion of residential land zoned for lots over 25,000 sq.ft. C. business_acres: Proportion of non-retail business acres per town D. charles_river_adjacency: Charles River dummy variable (= 1 if tract bounds river; 0 otherwise) E. nitric_oxide_concentration: Nitric oxides concentration (parts per 10 million) F. avg_rooms_per_dwelling: Average number of rooms per dwelling G. units_prior_1940: Proportion of owner-occupied units built prior to 1940 H. distance_to_employment_center: Weighted distances to five Boston employment centres I. highway_accessibility_index: Index of accessibility to radial highways J. property_tax_rate: Full-value property-tax rate per $10,000 K. pupil_teacher_ratio: Pupil-teacher ratio by town L. median_house_value: Median value of owner-occupied homes in $1000's 6. Parameter Selection: A. Dashboard Usage: Predict Numerical Fields for business analyst role. Settings: 1) Search command: | inputlookup housing.csv 2) Field to predict: median_house_value 3) Fields to use for predicting: crime_rate, land_zone, nitric_oxide_concentration, avg_rooms_per_dwelling, units_prior_1940, distance_to_employment_center, highway_accessibility_index, property_tax_rate, pupil_teacher_ratio B. Dashboard: Cluster Numeric Fields Settings: 0) Search: | inputlookup housing.csv 1) Model name: N/A 2) Fields to preprocess: avg_rooms_per_dwelling, business_acres, crime_rate, distance_to_employment_center, highway_accessibility_index, land_zone, median_house_value, nitric_oxide_concentration, property_tax_rate, pupil_teacher_ratio, units_prior_1940 3) Apply StandardScaler 4) Apply PCA to reduce to 3 fields 5) Algorithm: DBSCAN 6) Fields to use: PC_1, PC_2, PC_3 7) eps: 0.96
