1. The input folder contains the data that we have for analysis. In our case, it contains Licence_Data.csv.

2. The src folder is the heart of the project. This folder contains all the modularized code for all the above steps in a modularized manner.

   The model_selection.py and preprocessing.py files contain all the functions in a modularized manner, which are appropriately named. These Python functions are then called inside the run.py file.

   The requirements.txt file has all the required libraries with respective versions. Kindly install the file by using the command pip install -r requirements.txt.

3. The output folder contains an Excel file for classification metrics scores of each model.

4. The lib folder is a reference folder. It contains the original Jupyter notebook.
