Supervised learning regression project done as part of the Machine Learning Engineer Nanodegree at Udacity.

Disclaimer

This project was done as part of Udacity's Machine Learning Engineer Nanodegree. It started as a template developed by Udacity which I completed with code of my own in order to uncover insights in the data and to answer the questions.

Data dependencies:
