This report represent a comprehensive data science project addressing two distinct problems: healthcare accessibility analysis in Nigeria and car price prediction in the American market. For the healthcare analysis, data manipulation and visualization techniques were employed to understand the distribution of health facilities across states and by ownership type. For the car price prediction, a robust machine learning pipeline was followed, including data exploration, handling missing values and outliers, cardinality checks, one-hot encoding, multicollinearity treatment, and model building using Multiple Linear Regression and Ridge Regression, followe by their evaluation.

Project 1: Data Manipulation and Visualization - Healthcare Accessibility Analysis

2.1 Introduction This section focuses on understanding the distribution and types of healthcare facilities in Nigeria using the ‘NGA_health_facilities.csv’ dataset. The primary goal is to visualize healthcare accessibility patterns.

2.2 Data Loading and Initial Exploration The ‘NGA_health_facilities.csv’ dataset was loaded. Initial inspection revealed columns such as ‘state’, ‘facility_level’, and ‘ownership_type’, which are crucial for analysis. The dataset containe no apparent missing values for the relevant columns.

#Task 1.1: Plot bar charts showing the distribution of facility types (facility_level) across zones (NE, NW, NC, SE, SW, SS)

This analysis provides insights into the spatial and categorical distribution of healthcare facilities in Nigeria

Key Observations: 1. Geopolitical Zone Distribution: The first bar chart illustrates the varying prevalence of different facility levels across Nigeria’s geopolitical zones. This helps identify which zones might have a higher concentration of certain types of healthcare services.

    fill = "Facility Level"
  ) +

  theme(axis.text.x = element_text(angle = 45, hjust = 1))

#Task 1.2: Compute and visualize the number of facilities, facility_level for Abia, Imo, Anambra, Ebonyi and Enugu respectively.

Facility Level in Specific States: The second chart, focusing on Abia, Imo, Anambra, Ebonyi, and Enugu, shows the internal breakdown of primary, secondary, and tertiary care facilities within these states. This helps in understanding the accessibility of different levels of care at a more granular state level.

specified_states <- c("Abia","Imo","Anambra", "Ebonyi", "Enugu")
df_health_filtered_states <- health_facility_data %>%
  filter(state %in% specified_states)

        legend.position = "right") +
  guides(fill = guide_legend(override.aes = list(size = 4)))

#Task 1.3: Number of facilities for the three states above and ownership type (public, private, NGO) Ownership Type in Specific States: The third chart reveals the distribution of facilities by ownership type (Public, Private, NGO) across the selected states. This is crucial for understanding the roles of the government, private sector, and non-governmental organizations in healthcare provision in these regions.

These visualizations serve as foundational steps for understanding healthcare accessibility and can inform resource allocation and policy decisions.

Project 2: Car Price Prediction Multiple Linear Regression

Problem Statement: The goal is understand the factors affecting car pricing in the American market to assist Geely Auto in their market entry strategy

Data loading and Initial Exploration The ‘CarPrice_Data.csv’ dataset was loaded. Initial inspection confirmed 205 entries and 26 variables, including numerical and categorical types. Column names were standardized using ‘janitor::clean_names()’ for consistency (e.g., ‘car_id’, ‘fuel_type’, ‘price’). #Task 2.1: Data exploration and Cleaning

#load data set

car_Price_data <- read.csv("CarPrice_Data.csv")

# since no missing values were detected, no imputation or dropping of rows/columns is required

#Task 2.3: Outlier Detection and Treatment ## I will use boxplots for visualization and IQR method to detect and treat outliers by capping them Outliers in numerical features were identified using boxplots and treated using the IQR (Interquartile Range) method. Values falling below \(Q1 - 1.5 \times IQR\) or above \(Q3 + 1.5\times IQR\) were capped at these respective bounds. This winsorization technique helps mitigate the influence of extreme values on model training. Several columns, including ‘whalebase’, ‘carlength’. ‘carwidth’. ‘enginesize’, horsepower’. and price itself, showe outliers which were subsequently capped.

Task 2.4: Cardinality Check: Identify categorical variables and check their cardinality(number of unique levels).

Categorical variables were analyzed for their cardinality ( number of unique values). -High cardinality: The ‘carname’ columns was identified with 147 unique values. Due to its high cardinality and potential to create too many dummy variables, ‘carname’ was excluded from one-hot encoding and dropped from the feature set for modelling. This prevents the “curse of dimensionality” and avoids issues with linear models overfitting to specific car names. -Low cardinality: Columns like ‘fueltype’, ‘aspiration’, ‘doornumber’, ‘drivewheel’. and ‘enginelocation’ had low cardinality (<5 unique values) and were suitable for one-hot encoding. Other Categorical features with moderate cardinality (e.g, ‘carbody’. ‘enginetype’. ‘cylindernumber’.’fuelsystem’) were also included for encoding.

    high_cardinality_cols <- c(high_cardinality_cols,col)
  } else if (num_unique < 5) {
    low_cardinality_cols <- c(low_cardinality_cols, col)
  }
  
}
## Column 'CarName': 147 unique values.
## Column 'fueltype': 2 unique values.
## Column 'aspiration': 2 unique values.
## Column 'doornumber': 2 unique values.
## Column 'carbody': 5 unique values.
## Column 'drivewheel': 3 unique values.
## Column 'enginelocation': 2 unique values.
## Column 'enginetype': 7 unique values.
## Column 'cylindernumber': 7 unique values.
## Column 'fuelsystem': 8 unique values.

## Low Cardinality Columns (<5 unique values):  fueltype, aspiration, doornumber, drivewheel, enginelocation
#Note: 'carname' is high cardinality and will be handled by exclusion from encoding

#Task 2.5: One-Hot Encoding: Convert selected categorical variables into dummy variables using ‘fastDumies::dummy_cols()’. I will drop car_ID and carname from the encoding process, with carnme being dropped due to high cardinality.’drop_first = T’ is used to avoid the dummy variable trap. All selected categorical variables (excluding ‘car_id’ and ‘carname’) were converted into numerical dummy variables using one-hot encoding. The drop_first = T argument was used to prevent perfect multicollinearity among the dumy variables, also known as the dummy variable trap.

#Task 2.6: Multicollinearity Check (VIF): Compute Variance Inflation Factor(VIF) to detect correlated predictors. We will drop variables with \(VIF > 10\). This will be an iterative process if multiple variables have higher VIF. For this demonstration, I’ll perform one pass Variance Inflation Factor(VIF) was calculated for all predictors variables to identify and address multicollinearity. -Initial Findings: Many variables, especially some of the newly created dummy variables and original highly correlated numerical feature (e.g., ‘enginesize’, ‘horsepower’, ‘citympg’, ‘highmpg’, curbweighy), exhibited very high VIF scores (some even Inf), indicating severe multicollinearity.

-Treatment: Variables with a VIF score greater than 10 were systematically dropped from the dataset. This step significantly reduce the inter-correlation among predictors improving the stability and interpretability of the regression model coefficients. The final set of features used for modeling had much lower VIF scores.

Task 2.7 Data Leakage Split

A review was conducted to ensure no data leakage was present. The featues selected are characteristics of cars known at the time of purchase, and the target variable, price , is a direct outcome. There were no time-dependent features or future information that could unfairly influence the model’s predictions. car_iD and carname were carefully managed to prevent unintenden leakage.

# Review of variables for Data Leakage

# Target Variable(Price): This is the outcome we are trying to predict, is not a feature that would be available in the future or derived from information that isn't present at the time of the car's initial pricing.

# Feature Set: variables like car_iD (Identifier) and carname (high cardinality, potentially containing brand info) have been identified and appropriately excluded from the modeling features to prevent them from directly memorizing or leaking information.

# Temporal Aspect: There is no explicit temporal component in the dataset that suggests future information could influence past data points. The dataset represents a snapshot of car specifications and prices.

# Conclusion: Based on the current feature set and the nature of the data, no obvious data leakage has been detected. The processing steps have aimed to create a feature set representative of what would be available at the time of car pricing.

Model B: Ridge Regression:

Using glmnet for Ridge Regression. We’ll set an arbitrary alpha = 0 for Ridge (L2 penalty). Note: glmnet requires a matrix for X. A ridge regression model using glmnet waas trained. Ridge Regression applies L2 regularization to the coefficients, which helps in handling multicollinearity and preventing overfitting, especially when many correlated predictors are present. A default alpha = 0 (pure ridge) was used, with glmnet automatically handling the lambda sequence. A specific lambda value from the sequence was chosen for prediction on the test set.

# (Further steps for model evaluation will follow in Task 2.10)

Task 2.10 Evaluate both models using MSE, RMSE, and R^2

Both models were evaluated on the unseen test set using Mean Squared Error, Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), and R-Squared. -Model A (LInear Regression) Evaluation: .MSE: 25,506,551.36 .RMSE: 5,050.40 .\(R^2\): 0.52

Interpretation: This model explains approximately 52% of the variance in car prices. The RMSE indicates that on average, the model’s predictions deviate by about $5050.40 from the actual car prices.

Model Comparison

comparing the performace on the test set: - Model A (Linear Regression) \(R^2\):0.52 - Model B (Ridge Regression) \(R^2\): 0.51

In this specific case, the Multiple LInear Regression model (Model A) showed a slightly higher R-squared value on the test set, indicating it explained marginally more variance in car prices than the Ridge Regression model (Model B). This suggests that after addressing multicollinearity by dropping highly correlated variables, the standard linear model performed very competently. The difference between the two models is minor, and both provide reasonable predictive powwer for car pricing given the dataset.

#Conclusion The project successfully demonstrated key data science methodologies across two distinct domains. For healthcare, visualizations provided insights into facility distribution and ownership patterns in Nigeria states. For car price prediction, a robust linear modeling approach was implemented, showcasing data cleaning, transformation, outlier handling, categorical encoding, multicollinearity management, and model evaluation. The insights gained from both analyses can inform policy decisions in healthcare and strategic market entry for automobile companies.
