K-Nearest Neighbors: Instructions

K-Nearest Neighbors is a simple machine learning algorithm that can be used for both classification and regression problems. It classifies new data points based on the majority class of its k nearest neighbors, where k is a positive integer, typically small. It works by finding the closest training examples in the feature space. The new data point is classified based on the majority class among its k nearest neighbors.

Grading Guidelines:
1. An assignment submission is considered complete only when correct and executable code(s) are submitted along
with the documentation explaining the method and results. Failing to submit either of those will be considered an
invalid submission and will not be considered for evaluation.
2. Assignments submitted after the deadline will affect your grades.

Grading:
Ans Date     Ans Date
Correct On time A 100    
80% & above On time B 85 Correct Late
50% & above On time C 75 80% & above Late
50% & below On time D 65 50% & above Late
    E 55 50% & below  
Copied/No Submission   F 45    

● Grade A: (>= 90): When all assignments are submitted on or before the given deadline.
● Grade B: (>= 80 and < 90):
o When assignments are submitted on time but less than 80% of problems are completed.
(OR)
o All assignments are submitted after the deadline.

● Grade C: (>= 70 and < 80):


o When assignments are submitted on time but less than 50% of the problems are completed.
(OR)
o Less than 80% of problems in the assignments are submitted after the deadline.

● Grade D: (>= 60 and < 70):


o Assignments submitted after the deadline and with 50% or less problems.

● Grade E: (>= 50 and < 60):


o Less than 30% of problems in the assignments are submitted after the deadline.
(OR)
o Less than 30% of problems in the assignments are submitted before the deadline.

● Grade F: (< 50): No submission (or) malpractice.

Hints:
1. Business Problem
1.1. What is the business objective?
1.1. Are there any constraints?

2. Work on each feature of the dataset to create a data dictionary as displayed in the below
image:

2.1 Make a table as shown above and provide information about the features such as its data type
and its relevance to the model building. And if not relevant, provide reasons and a description of the
feature.

3. Data Pre-processing
3.1 Data Cleaning, Feature Engineering, etc.
4. Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA):
4.1. Summary.
4.2. Univariate analysis.
4.3. Bivariate analysis.

5. Model Building
5.1 Build the model on the scaled data (try multiple options).
5.2 Perform KNN and use cross validation techniques to get optimum K value.
5.3 Train and test the model and perform cross validation techniques. Compare accuracies, precision
and recall and explain them in the documentation.
5.4 Briefly explain the model output in the documentation.

6. Write about the benefits/impact of the solution - in what way does the business (client)
benefit from the solution provided?

1. A glass manufacturing plant uses different earth elements to design new glass materials
based on customer requirements. For that, they would like to automate the process of
classification as it’s a tedious job to manually classify them. Help the company achieve its
objective by correctly classifying the glass type based on the other features using KNN
algorithm.

2. A National Park in India is dealing with the problem of segregation of its species
based on the different attributes they have. Build a KNN model to automatically
classify new species. Explain any inferences you draw in the documentation.
