Machine Learning web application for predicting Fire Weather Index (FWI) using the Algerian Forest Fire dataset.
# Algerian Forest Fire FWI Prediction
## Project Overview
This project focuses on predicting the Fire Weather Index (FWI) using the Algerian Forest Fire dataset. The objective of this project is to analyze environmental and weather-related factors and build a machine learning model capable of predicting the Fire Weather Index.
## Project Workflow
The project was completed following a complete machine learning pipeline:
* Data Collection and Understanding
* Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)
* Data Cleaning and Preprocessing
* Feature Engineering
* Feature Scaling using StandardScaler
* Train-Test Split
* Model Training and Evaluation
## Machine Learning Models Used
During model development, the following regression algorithms were implemented and evaluated:
* Linear Regression
* Ridge Regression
* Lasso Regression
To improve model performance and select the optimal regularization parameter, cross-validation techniques were applied using:
* LassoCV (Cross Validation)
## Model Evaluation
The models were evaluated using standard regression metrics such as:
* Mean Absolute Error (MAE)
* Mean Squared Error (MSE)
* R² Score
Based on the evaluation results, the best-performing model was selected and saved using Pickle for deployment.
## Web Application Development
After model training, a web application was developed using Flask. The application allows users to enter weather-related parameters and obtain the predicted Fire Weather Index in real time.
## Technologies Used
* Python
* Pandas
* NumPy
* Matplotlib
* Seaborn
* Scikit-Learn
* Flask
* HTML & CSS
* Pickle
## Project Outcome
Successfully built an end-to-end Machine Learning application that performs Fire Weather Index prediction and provides predictions through a user-friendly Flask web interface.
