ACADEMIC PROJECTS

Walmart Sales Prediction: Implemented Time Series modelling on Walmart’s Dataset available on Kaggle.com to predict the future store wise sales with R. Analyzed the data correlation using ACF and PACF and fit ARIMA model using forecast package in R to predict future weekly sales for a user input store and department.

HR Analytics: Analyzed HR dataset on Kaggle.com using R, to understand the primary factors that makes an employee leave an organization. Trained models like Logistic Regression, Naïve Bayes, Random Forest, SVMs and Neural Network to predict the next probable employee to quit and compared the results. Presidential Candidates Social Network Analysis: Scrapped data from Twitter using TwitterAPI for the 2016 Presidential candidates and analyzed their social connections and constructed network graphs to analyze using python. Facebook Community Detection and Link Prediction: Used Bill Gates connections from Facebook to build a network graph and analyze the different communities linked through him. We then predicted future links using Jaccard score in python.

Recommender Systems: Used data from MovieLens project which contained movie ratings from users and movie genres and predicted ratings for movies in the test set based on cosine similarity using python.
