Old/Used Cars Price Prediction using Machine Learning Algorithms
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Abstract
The main motive of my work is to check the working of the machine learning techniques that anticipate the cost price of old/used vehicles which were collected through various sources. The forecasts are in view of authentic information gathered from every day papers. Various procedures like different logistic regression analysis, k-closest neighbors and linear regression analysis have been made use of to predict the forecasts. The algorithms are best used to check the results and also how good the accuracy can be taken into picture. The results were best seen in k-closest neighbors and were pretty decent in both logistic and linear regression analysis. An apparently simple issue ended up being for sure exceptionally troublesome to determine with high precision. Every one of the three techniques gave tantamount results. Later part of the work, we can make use of or utilize more refined calculations to make the expectations by using various other algorithms and attain higher precision.
