## 🚀 **Quick Start**
### 🔧 **Installation**
```bash
# 📥 Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/alam025/car-price-prediction.git
cd car-price-prediction
# 📦 Install dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt
# 🚀 Run the price prediction system
python src/car_price_prediction.py
```
### 💻 **Usage Example**
```python
# 🎯 Car price prediction
import pandas as pd
from sklearn.linear_model import LinearRegression, Lasso
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
# 📊 Load and preprocess data
car_data = pd.read_csv("data/car_data.csv")
# 🔧 Feature engineering - Encode categorical variables
car_data.replace({'Fuel_Type': {'Petrol': 0, 'Diesel': 1, 'CNG': 2}}, inplace=True)
car_data.replace({'Seller_Type': {'Dealer': 0, 'Individual': 1}}, inplace=True)
car_data.replace({'Transmission': {'Manual': 0, 'Automatic': 1}}, inplace=True)
# 🎯 Prepare features and target
X = car_data.drop(['Car_Name', 'Selling_Price'], axis=1)
y = car_data['Selling_Price']
# 🔄 Split data
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.1, random_state=2)
# 🤖 Train models
linear_model = LinearRegression()
lasso_model = Lasso()
linear_model.fit(X_train, y_train)
lasso_model.fit(X_train, y_train)
# 🎯 Make predictions
linear_pred = linear_model.predict(X_test)
lasso_pred = lasso_model.predict(X_test)
print(f"Linear Regression R²: {linear_model.score(X_test, y_test):.3f}")
print(f"Lasso Regression R²: {lasso_model.score(X_test, y_test):.3f}")
```
