⚙️ Setup

First, ensure you have Python 3.11+ installed on your system. Install the required dependencies:

# Create a virtual environment (recommended)
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

# Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

requirements.txt:

pandas
scikit-learn

🚀 Running the Scripts

Train the Model

Train the logistic regression model by running:

python train.py

This script performs the following operations:

Loads the data from data/sample.csv
Preprocesses the features and target variables
Trains a logistic regression model on the data
Saves the trained model as model.pkl under the model folder

🔍 Using the Trained Model

After training, you can use the model in your applications:

import pickle
import pandas as pd

# Load the trained model
with open('model/model.pkl', 'rb') as f:
    model = pickle.load(f)

# Prepare your data (ensure it has the same format as training data)
new_data = pd.read_csv('path/to/new_data.csv')

# Make predictions
predictions = model.predict(new_data)
print(predictions)

❓ Troubleshooting

Missing dependencies: Ensure all packages are installed via pip install -r requirements.txt
File not found errors: Check that your data file exists in the data/ directory
Version conflicts: Verify your Python version is 3.11+ and package versions match requirements
Memory issues: For large datasets, consider batch processing or increasing system resources
