The aim of this lab is to challenge you on building a supervised machine learning pipeline to predict the median values of owner-occupied housing in USD 1000, denoted as MEDV. We are going to famous Boston dataset, which contains a set of different features that are used to predict the MEDV target variable. Here, you will be guided with an hands-on exercise on data preprocessing, fitting and evaluation of a regression model.
To get the most from this lab, it is recommended to have confidence and exposure to the following libraries: `pandas`, `matplotlib` and `scikit-learn`.
I strongly encourage you to have watched the following courses, available in our content library:
