Bitcoin Price Prediction Using Machine Learning in Python
Bitcoin Price Prediction Using Machine Learning in Python
Learning
Machine learning proves immensely helpful in many industries in automating tasks
that earlier required human labor one such application of ML is predicting whether a
particular trade will be profitable or not.
Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency, like Ethereum or Bitcoin — despite the fact that it’s
totally different than both of these famous coins. Dogecoin was initially made to some
extent as a joke for crypto devotees and took its name from a previously well-known
meme.
In this Project, we will learn how to predict a signal that indicates whether buying a
particular stock will be helpful or not by using ML. we will be implementing a machine
learning model which can predict the pattern or forecast the price of the coin in the
upcoming days. Let us now move toward the implementation of price prediction.
Let’s start by importing some libraries which will be used for various purposes which
will be explained later in this article.
Importing Libraries
Python libraries make it very easy for us to handle the data and perform typical and
complex tasks with a single line of code.
Pandas – This library helps to load the data frame in a 2D array format and has
multiple functions to perform analysis tasks in one go.
Numpy – Numpy arrays are very fast and can perform large computations in a
very short time.
Matplotlib/Seaborn – This library is used to draw visualizations.
Sklearn – This module contains multiple libraries having pre-implemented
functions to perform tasks from data preprocessing to model development and
evaluation.
XGBoost – This contains the eXtreme Gradient Boosting machine learning
algorithm which is one of the algorithms which helps us to achieve high accuracy
on predictions.
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sb
import warnings
warnings.filterwarnings('ignore')
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
Now let us load the dataset in the panda’s data frame. One can download the CSV file
from here.
data = pd.read_csv("DOGE-USD.csv")
data.head()
data.corr()
Converting the string date & time in proper date & time format with the help of pandas.
After that check is there any null value is present or not.
data.set_index('Date', inplace=True)
data.isnull().any()
