Students-Performance Machine Learning Project

Project Description

This project aims to predict students' math scores using machine learning, based on a variety of features including demographic, social, and school-related factors. It seeks to uncover the key determinants of students' performance in math, providing valuable insights for educational strategies.

Dataset Information

• Gender: Sex of students → (Male/Female) 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦
• Race/Ethnicity: Ethnicity of students → (Group A, B, C, D, E) 👲🏽👳🏾‍♂️👩🏼‍🦱🧑🏿👱🏻‍♀️
• Parental Level of Education: Parents' final education → (Bachelor's degree, Some college, Master's degree, Associate's degree, High school) 👨‍🎓👩‍🎓
• Lunch: Having lunch before test → (Standard or Free/reduced) 🍱
• Test Preparation Course: Complete or not complete before test ✍️
• Math Score ➕🖩

How This Project Works

The project applies various machine learning models to predict students' performance and analyze the impact of different features on their academic outcomes. It involves data preprocessing, exploratory data analysis (EDA), model selection, training, and evaluation to understand the underlying patterns and make predictions.
