## Income-Classification
* **Predict whether a person makes over 50K a year or not given their demographic variation.**
### Description
* To achieve this, several classification techniques are explored and the random forest model yields to the best prediction result.
### Install Setup
This project requires **Python 2.7** and the following Python libraries installed:
- [numpy](http://www.numpy.org/)
- [pandas](http://pandas.pydata.org)
- [matplotlib](http://matplotlib.org/)
- [scikit-learn](http://scikit-learn.org/stable/)
- [seaborn](https://seaborn.pydata.org)
You will also need to have software installed to run and execute a [Jupyter Notebook](http://ipython.org/notebook.html)
If you do not have Python installed yet, it is highly recommended that you install the [Anaconda](http://continuum.io/downloads) distribution of Python, which already has the above packages and more included. Make sure that you select the Python 2.7 installer and not the Python 3.x installer.
### Code
Template code is provided in the notebook `Income_Classification.ipynb`
[Jupyter Notebook](https://github.com/YRohitha/Income-Classification/blob/main/Income_Classification.ipynb) file.
### Run
In a terminal or command window, navigate to the top-level project directory (that contains this README) and run one of the following commands:
```bash
jupyter notebook Income_Classification.ipynb
```
or
```bash
ipython notebook Income_Classification.ipynb
```
This will open the Jupyter Notebook software and project file in your web browser.
### Data
#### The [income dataset](http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/machine-learning-databases/adult/adult.data) was extracted from 1994 U.S. Census database.
