Kenya Inflation Predictor using NNAR + Climate Change # Inflation Prediction System This is a final year project for building an inflation prediction system using machine learning and actual monthly CPI data. ## Features - Predict annual average inflation using monthly data - Preprocess and clean the provided CSV dataset - Train a stronger regression model on real inflation statistics - Streamlit app for interactive prediction ## Setup 1. Create virtual environment: `python -m venv venv` 2. Activate: `venv\Scripts\activate` (Windows) 3. Install dependencies: `pip install -r requirements.txt` 4. Run training: `python model-training.py` 5. Run app: `streamlit run app.py` ## Files - `app.py`: Streamlit web app for prediction - `model-training.py`: Script to preprocess the CSV and train the model - `models/`: Saved trained model file - `data/`: Dataset folder containing the inflation CSV ## Requirements - Python 3.8+ - streamlit - pandas - numpy - scikit-learn - joblib - matplotlib
