How many students there are per teacher in local schools etc
Today you will:
Analyse and explore the Boston house price data
Split your data for training and testing
Run a Multivariable Regression
Evaluate how your model's coefficients and residuals
Use data transformation to improve your model performance
Use your model to estimate a property price
