Predicting house prize ======================= Tell your own story, here is the example .... You have a client who would like to buy a house in a given district (zipcode) because he likes schools there and work not far from it. He is looking for a house with are least 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and his budget is between XXk to YYk USA $. He likes the waterfront but can go without it. Prefers if the sizes of nearby houses are quite similar. --> perform exploratory analysis of the houses in the database sold in that zone --> try out simple linear regression model based on three features selected with greedy algorithm (nested selection) --> try out non-parametric regression based on at least 5 nearby houses, use boxcar kernel, you might try out also different kernels. Present offer of 2-5 houses for consideration with your client. Discuss if the prizes are reasonable according to your models or houses are too priced or are a good buy. Be creative but don't get overwhelmed with sophistication of the code. Use your intuition and common sense in preparing offer for your client.
