The Student Performance Analysis project takes a deep dive into the factors that shape students' academic achievements, using data-driven insights to empower educators, policymakers, and researchers. By analyzing key variables like demographics, social background, and study habits, this project not only uncovers patterns but also predicts student performance, offering valuable actionable insights.

Leveraging advanced data science techniques, including machine learning models and data visualization, this project illuminates what truly influences academic success. With the results, educators can make more informed decisions, optimize teaching strategies, and ultimately improve student outcomes.

Project Highlights

• Predictive Modeling: Use machine learning to forecast student grades and academic performance.
• Exploratory Data Analysis: Uncover hidden patterns and relationships in the data.
• Powerful Visualizations: Gain a clear, visual understanding of factors affecting student success.
• Actionable Insights: Develop data-backed strategies to enhance teaching methods and support students effectively.

⚙️ Installation To get started, ensure you have Python installed and then simply install the required libraries with: pip install pandas numpy matplotlib seaborn missingno scikit-learn

🖥️ Usage

1. Clone the repository: https://github.com/sumansuhag/random-dataframe/blob/main/random%20dataframe-checkpoint.ipynb

📊 Data The dataset comprises multiple features that offer deep insights into the factors influencing student success. Some key columns include:

• Age: Age of the student
• Gender: Gender of the student
• Study Time: Time allocated for studying
• Parental Education: Education level of the parents
• Grad: The target variable, representing the student’s final grades

🔍 Analysis Through Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA), this project delves into:

• Data Cleaning**: Handling missing values and outliers to ensure accurate predictions.
• Correlation Analysis: Understanding the strength and direction of relationships between features.
• Feature Engineering: Creating meaningful features that help improve model accuracy.

📊 Visualizations To facilitate a deeper understanding of the data, this project features dynamic visualizations that illuminate the relationships between variables:

• Histograms: Visualize the distribution of grades, study time, and other important factors.
• Correlation Heatmaps: Identify and highlight correlations between academic performance and other features.
• Pair Plots: Analyze how different features interact with each other.

🤖 Machine Learning Models This project leverages cutting-edge machine learning models to predict student grades and uncover factors that influence performance:

• Linear Regression: Predicts grades as a continuous outcome.
• Decision Trees: Identifies key features influencing performance and makes predictions.
• Random Forest: Combines multiple decision trees for more accurate results.
• Support Vector Machines (SVM): Classifies students based on academic performance.

Example code for training models: from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestRegressor

Train a Random Forest model

model = RandomForestRegressor() model.fit(X_train, y_train)

Make predictions

predictions = model.predict(X_test)

🏆 Results The performance of the models is evaluated using metrics such as:

• Mean Squared Error (MSE)
• R-squared (R²): Measures the proportion of the variance explained by the model.
• Accuracy: For classification models that predict performance categories. These results help validate the effectiveness of the models and provide insights into how well the factors predict student success.

🙌 Contributing Contributions are more than welcome! Whether you’re a data enthusiast, educator, or researcher, you can help improve this project:

• Add new machine learning models.
• Enhance the data analysis or feature engineering process.
• Improve visualizations for better insights.
• Add new features for deeper analysis (e.g., psychological factors, extracurricular activities).
