BUSINESS ANALYTICS RELEVANT PROJECTS

TEAM PROJECT #1: Deloitte Practicum Project London Tourism Analytics August 2018 – December 2018

OBJECTIVE: The City of London’s local ministry has requested analytics advisory services from Travel-The-World (TTW) Analytics Management consulting working in close consort with the London Tourism Bureau (International Tourism Data, 2002-2017) to construct foundational predictive capabilities, centered on monitoring city’s tourism growth relative to distinct EU member nations and the overall global community.

As a team together, we first make our Project Plan & Timeline. We plan to meet our mentors and professor bi-weekly to discuss what we need to do in the next two weeks.

Data Visualization & Data Exploration: Our first stage is to explore our data and visualize the data (Python & Tableau) so that we might have some idea about the data and can find some interesting topics to work on.

TEAM PROJECT #2: Kaggle Open Data Competition House Price in Iowa January 2018 – May 2018

OBJECTIVE: With 79 explanatory variables and 1500 observations describing almost every aspect of residential homes in Ames, Iowa, this project is aimed to predict the final price of each home and find out which variables have the largest influence on the final price of each home. Developed several deep learning, neural network, decision tree (random forest) and regression models with different variables encoding technical to predict the housing price in Iowa.

Data Exploration: Use the log transformation to get rid of the right-skewed problem of the target variable, Sale Price. By looking at the correlation plot, 9 variables are highly correlated with the target variable. Drop some outliers, split 30% of the train data into validation data in order to avoid leakage.

Data Preparation: Drop uncorrelated variables. Impute missing value based on variables’ types (categorical or numeric). Add useful variables, change some numerical variables that should be categorical, and drop several highly correlated variables to solve the multicollinearity issue. Apply ordinal encoding, label encoding, and one-hot encoding based on the meaning of each variable.

Models Building: Regression, GBM, Neural Network, and Feature Extraction (Lasso Cross-validation).

Evaluation and Selection: Identify the most promising model based on the validation data set and the RMSE score. The best model is the average model by combining the top 3 models.

Final Ranking: The best model achieved the top 6% ranking on Kaggle with the RMSE score is 0.11540.
