This project focuses on the application of data science techniques to predict flight prices accurately, aiming to address the challenges associated with the dynamic nature of airfares.
Objective:
The primary goal is to develop a predictive model that leverages historical data, machine learning algorithms, and real-time market trends to empower users with insights for informed decision-making in
📊 Tasks:
-
Data Collection and Cleaning:
- Import the flight price prediction dataset.
- Handle missing values, remove duplicates, and perform necessary data transformations.
-
Descriptive Statistics Analysis:
- Calculate the mean, median, mode, variance, and standard deviation for relevant numerical variables.
-
Data Visualization:
- Create appropriate visualizations (e.g., histograms, box plots, bar charts) to analyze the distribution of numerical variables and relationships between categorical and numerical variables.
-
Geographical Analysis:
- Develop visualizations, such as heatmaps, to understand the density of flight prices across different locations.
- Identify areas with the highest concentration of flights and price variations.
-
Relationship Analysis:
- Investigate the relationship between flight price, airline, source, destination, and other relevant factors.
- Perform statistical tests (e.g., t-test, ANOVA) to identify significant differences in prices based on various factors.
-
Predictive Modeling:
- Develop machine learning models to predict flight prices based on historical data and relevant features.
- Evaluate the model's performance using appropriate metrics.
-
Analysis of Customer Satisfaction:
- Explore the relationship between customer satisfaction and factors such as price, airline, and travel time.
- Utilize metrics like reviews and ratings to measure customer satisfaction.
