Data: The dataset contains 80 input features, and 1 Target variable called SalePrice. We're expected to predict the sale price of different houses with various features such as MSSubClass, LotFrontage, LotArea, etc.

This is a Regression problem. You can import dataset from the following link to replicate the same results and follow along the experiement. We'll use XgBoost to solve this problem.

Dependencies: : You'll need to install below dependencies to run this project.

• json: 2.0.9
• pandas: 1.0.1
• numpy: 1.18.1
• matplotlib: 3.5.3
• seaborn: 0.10.0
• sklearn: 0.22.1

The code has been tested on Windows system. It should work well on other distributions but has not yet been tested.

• Wite a re-usable function to determine data type, Null Counts, Unique values, and Null_Percent in each variable and store in a dataframe.
• Feature Engineering.
• Easy method to check Null values across different features in dataset.
• Encode rare categories using RareLabelEncoder.
• Creating Class for temporal transformation that is compatible with SK_learn pipeline.
• Building the Pre-Processing sklearn pipeline for data preprocessing such missing value imputation, feature engineering, data encoding, etc.
• Calculate the feature importance
• Automatic important feature selection using SelectFromModel.
• Compare different model version such as Model without preprocessing data, Model with processed data, and Model with important variables only.
