Description
Description: The project is split into three phases that match the learning outcomes throughout the
course. Each phase accounts for 10% of your total grade.
Guidelines: The aim of this project is to demonstrate your ability to apply and discuss the outcomes
of various data mining techniques on a problem and a dataset of your interest.
The dataset must include quantitative and qualitative attributes.
Your work should not be limited to what you learn in the practical sessions of the course.
You must submit an R markdown, knitted as a pdf file, for every phase.
You can work in a group of two – same group in all phases.
Your grade will be subject to a 5% penalty for every day of submission delay.
– Phase II: (10%) due Wednesday, Nov. 15, 11:59pm.
Choose a dataset with a quantitative response, and discuss your choice with me. (1%)
N.B. Your dataset should not be associated with any existing work related to the
required tasks – e.g., on kaggle, Github, …
Apply logistic regression, linear, and quadratic discriminant analysis techniques. (4%)
Include resampling techniques in your work, and compare the performance of the generated
classifiers accordingly. Use appropriate comparison measures, tables, and graphs. (3%)
Use subset selection approaches with different measures. (3%)
For each phase, make sure to highlight the following in your R markdown pdf file:
Dataset description including context and features
