Linear Regression: Predicting Car MPG
Objective
The goal of this assignment is to create a linear regression model that can effectively predict the Miles Per Gallon (MPG) of cars based on their related attributes. This work will involve data preprocessing, exploration, and implementing regression techniques using Python libraries such as Pandas and scikit-learn.
Dataset Overview
The dataset comprises 393 car models, containing the following attributes:
1. Car Model Name
2. MPG (dependent variable)
3. Number of Cylinders
4. Engine Displacement
5. Engine Horse Power
6. Car Weight
7. Acceleration (time to reach 60 mph)
8. Model Year
9. Origin
Steps in the Analysis
1. Load the Data
To analyze the dataset, we will first load the data from a CSV file into a Pandas DataFrame.
```python
import pandas as pd
data = pd.read_csv('car_mpg_data.csv')
```
2. Preview the Data
Next, we will inspect the first 10 rows of the dataset to understand its structure and verify the data integrity.
```python
print(data.head(10))
```
3. Create Features Matrix
For our regression model, we need to separate the features and labels. The features will consist of columns 3 to 9 (from the dataset), while the MPG column will be the target variable.
```python
X = data.iloc[:, 2:9].values # Features (columns 3 to 9)
```
4. Create Labels Vector
The labels vector, which consists of the MPG values, will be extracted as follows:
```python
y = data['MPG'].values # Labels (MPG column)
```
5. Scatter Plots
To visualize the relationship between each feature and the MPG, we will create scatter plots for every single feature against MPG.
```python
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
features = ['Cylinders', 'Displacement', 'Horsepower', 'Weight', 'Acceleration', 'Model Year', 'Origin']
for feature in features:
plt.figure(figsize=(10, 6))
plt.scatter(data[feature], data['MPG'], alpha=0.5)
plt.title(f'Relationship between {feature} and MPG')
plt.xlabel(feature)
plt.ylabel('MPG')
plt.grid()
plt.show()
```
6. Normalize Features
Normalization will help in speeding up convergence while training the model. We will use the `StandardScaler` for this purpose.
```python
from sklearn.preprocessing import StandardScaler
scaler = StandardScaler()
X_scaled = scaler.fit_transform(X)
```
7. Split the Data
To avoid overfitting, we will utilize cross-validation to split the dataset into training and testing subsets.
```python
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X_scaled, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)
```
8. Train Regression Models
We proceed to train models using the `SGDRegressor` class, first with individual features and then with the complete feature set.
```python
from sklearn.linear_model import SGDRegressor
metrics = []
model = SGDRegressor(max_iter=500)
for feature_index in range(X.shape[1]):
model.fit(X_train[:, feature_index].reshape(-1, 1), y_train)
y_pred = model.predict(X_test[:, feature_index].reshape(-1, 1))
r2 = model.score(X_test[:, feature_index].reshape(-1, 1), y_test)
mse = mean_squared_error(y_test, y_pred)
mae = mean_absolute_error(y_test, y_pred)
metrics.append((features[feature_index], "Iter = 500", r2, mse, mae))
model.fit(X_train, y_train)
y_pred_all = model.predict(X_test)
r2_all = model.score(X_test, y_test)
mse_all = mean_squared_error(y_test, y_pred_all)
mae_all = mean_absolute_error(y_test, y_pred_all)
metrics.append(('All Features', "Iter = 500", r2_all, mse_all, mae_all))
```
9. Regularization Models
We then train models with L1 and L2 regularization.
```python
model_l1 = SGDRegressor(max_iter=500, penalty='l1')
model_l1.fit(X_train, y_train)
y_pred_l1 = model_l1.predict(X_test)
metrics.append(('All Features', "Iter = 500, penalty = l1", model_l1.score(X_test, y_test), mean_squared_error(y_test, y_pred_l1), mean_absolute_error(y_test, y_pred_l1)))
model_l2 = SGDRegressor(max_iter=500, eta0=10.0)
model_l2.fit(X_train, y_train)
y_pred_l2 = model_l2.predict(X_test)
metrics.append(('All Features', "Iter = 500, eta0 = 10", model_l2.score(X_test, y_test), mean_squared_error(y_test, y_pred_l2), mean_absolute_error(y_test, y_pred_l2)))
```
Summary of Results
Finally, we compile the results of our experiments into a structured table for easy reference.
| Features Used | Non-default Params | R² Score | Mean Squared Error | Mean Absolute Error |
|--------------------------------------|----------------------------|----------|---------------------|---------------------|
| Cylinders | Iter = 500 | | | |

| Horsepower | Iter = 500 | | | |
| Weight | Iter = 500 | | | |
| Acceleration | Iter = 500 | | | |
| Year | Iter = 500 | | | |
| Origin | Iter = 500 | | | |
| All Features | Iter = 500 | | | |
| All Features | Iter = 500, penalty = l1 | | | |

Conclusion
Through this assignment, we have gained hands-on experience with linear regression techniques using the `SGDRegressor` from the scikit-learn library. The data preprocessing, training, and evaluation steps demonstrated a robust approach to predictive modeling.
