Maize yields prediction in East African farms particularly Rwanda using satellite imagery data and machine learning models
#### Tasks performed
1. Downloading and Loading the dataset of the zip files from Zindi or add them to the Google drive using the following links:
##### Test data:
drive.google.com
##### Training data:
drive.google.com
Use the smaller files from Zindi (Train.csv, SampleSubmission.csv and bandnames.txt) uploaded by using the files tab.
2. Sampling from the images
There are some hard-coded band indexes in the examples above that won't have made sense - how did we know which bands were which? There are 30 bands for each month.
3. Fitting a model
The goal is to find a set of parameters that minimize the difference between the predicted output and the actual output for the training data.
