Project Description

Predictive Modeling for Agriculture

A farmer reached out to you as a machine learning expert seeking help to select the best crop for his field. Due to budget constraints, the farmer explained that he could only afford to measure one out of the four essential soil measures:
  • Nitrogen content ratio in the soil
  • Phosphorous content ratio in the soil
  • Potassium content ratio in the soil
  • pH value of the soil
The expert realized that this is a classic feature selection problem, where the objective is to pick the most important feature that could help predict the crop accurately. Can you help him?

    This project was a valuable learning experience in understanding how individual features contribute to predicting crop types. By working with the soil dataset, I learned how to perform exploratory data analysis, handle data splitting, and evaluate models using single features one at a time.I realized that not all features are equally informative; in this case, Potassium (K) turned out to be the best predictor, although the accuracy was modest. This taught me the importance of feature selection and how using multiple features or more advanced models can improve predictive performance.Overall, this project strengthened my skills in Python, data handling with pandas, and applying machine learning models with scikit-learn. It also helped me appreciate the importance of clear code structure and interpreting model results thoughtfully.
