Abstract: (745 Views) |
This article has been compiled to identify the best model of housing price forecasting using machine learning methods with maximum accuracy and minimum error. Five important machine learning algorithms are used to predict housing prices, including Nearest Neighbor Regression Algorithm (KNNR), Support Vector Regression Algorithm (SVR), Random Forest Regression Algorithm (RFR), Extreme Gradient Boosting Regression Algorithm (XGBR), and the Long Short-Term Memory Neural Network Algorithm (LSTM). This research has been done using the data of the Statistics Center of Iran, which contains information on the purchase and sale of residential units in Tehran in the years 2014 to 2020 and includes 998299 transactions and 11 features. Loss of data, batch data conversion, normalization, etc. are performed on the housing data set to obtain the final and error-free data set. To divide the data set into training and test data sets, the important and practical method of cross-validation or K-Fold has been used because of its simplicity and effectiveness and as a universally valid method. Various evaluation criteria such as MSE, RMSE, MAE,ME and R2 were used to compare the models and identify the best model. Comparison of models in terms of all evaluation criteria in all K-fold subsets proves the stability and superiority of the Extreme Gradient Boosting Regression model.
