Generic regression - House Price Prediction

Description

Pipeline for solving classical regression problem - House Price estimation considering Lot size in square feet, Linear feet of street connected to the property, Roof material and style, Overall material and finish quality, Year of Building, Number of bedrooms, etc. This pipeline includes data processing, regression model training, and further application.

Problem Statement

Based on the house characteristics, assess its more likely sale price.
