Exploring Outliers & Data Distribution in Machine Learning 📊 Today I worked on Outlier Detection and Data Visualization as part of the Data Preprocessing stage in Machine Learning. Using the California Housing dataset, I analyzed numerical features and identified outliers using the Interquartile Range (IQR) method: • Q1 (25th percentile) • Q3 (75th percentile) • IQR = Q3 − Q1 • Lower Bound = Q1 − 1.5 × IQR • Upper Bound = Q3 + 1.5 × IQR Any values outside this range are treated as outliers. To better understand the dataset, I also visualized feature distributions using: 📈 Histograms with KDE – to observe data distribution 📦 Box plots – to clearly detect outliers Tools used: Python, Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib, Seaborn Understanding data behavior and detecting anomalies is a crucial step before building reliable machine learning models. Learning something new every day and strengthening my ML foundations. 🖇️GitHub Repository: https://lnkd.in/ghGPX9ez #MachineLearning #DataScience #Python #DataPreprocessing #OutlierDetection #Seaborn #Pandas
