Rain Prediction Model
Project
An overview of the project aimed at predicting rainfall
using various regression models.
Introductio This project aims to create a model to
predict rainfall for the next day. The
prediction will utilize models such as
n KNeighborsRegressor, SVR,
DecisionTreeRegressor,
RandomForestRegressor, and
GradientBoostingRegressor. The best
predictive model will be identified and
compared after hyperparameter tuning.
The comparison will be based on metrics
like F1 score and accuracy to determine
the most effective model.
