\nmethod: Visualizations and data summary will be used to get a high-level
\noverview of the variable and their distributions. Also, correlation analysis to
\nmeasure the strength and direction of relationships between the different
\nvariables and obesity.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nmethod: A machine learning model will be developed to build predictive
\nregression models to predict obesity rates based on identified key factors.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nEVALUATION:<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Feature
\nSelection and Engineering – identify the independent variables that are likely
\nto influence obesity based on knowledge and exploratory dat analysis<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Model
\nselection – implement regression predicitive modeling<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Model
\ntraining – train the models on the dataset using and optimize hyperparameters
\nto achieve a better model performance<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Once
\nthe code is complete and provides interpretation of results, supporting
\ndocumentation will be written and a working version of the product will be
\ngiven to WGU Health and Wellness<\/span><\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/span><\/span>Continuous
\nImprovement – As the client WGU Health and Wellness test the product, update
\nand retrain the predictive models to keep the insights relevant and up-to-date<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
