Regression Tutorial

This document provides steps for creating a regression model in Weka to predict house prices using characteristics like size, number of bedrooms, and bathrooms. It loads housing data, selects a linear regression model, and interprets the results. The regression output shows coefficients that can be used to predict prices. However, it incorrectly indicates larger houses reduce value, so removing the size variable improves the model.

Regression Guide Hands on Datamining & Machine Learning with Weka

Step1. Open the data/house.arff Dataset


Click the “Open file…” button to open a data set and double click on the “data” directory.
Weka provides a number of small common machine learning datasets that you can use to practice
on.
Select the “house.arff” file to load the house dataset.

Step2. Creating the regression model with WEKA


To create the model, click on the Classify tab. The first step is to select the model we want to build,
so WEKA knows how to work with the data, and how to create the appropriate model:
1. Click the Choose button, then expand the functions branch
2. Select the LinearRegression leaf with using training set test option.
3. Click Start to create a model.

Step3: Interpreting the regression model

Regression output
sellingPrice=(-26.6882*houseSize)+(7.0551*lotSize)+(43166.0767*bedrooms)+
(42292.0901*bathroom)-21661.1208

House value using regression model


SellingPrice=(-26.6882*2983)+(7.0551*9365)+(43166.0767*5)+(42292.0901*1) -
21661.1208

sellingPrice = 222,921

Step4: Interpret the patterns and conclusions that our model tells us
• Granite doesn't matter :It will throw out and ignore columns that don't help in creating a
good model. So this regression model is telling us that granite in your kitchen doesn't affect
the house's value.
• Bathrooms do matter: Since we use a simple 0 or 1 value for an upgraded bathroom, we
can use the coefficient from the regression model to determine the value of an upgraded
bathroom on the house value. The model tells us it adds $42,292 to the house value.

• Bigger houses reduce the value: Model is telling us that the bigger our house is, the lower
the selling price? This can be seen by the negative coefficient in front of the houseSize
variable. The model is telling us that every additional square foot of the house reduces its

price by $26? That doesn't make any sense at all. How should we interpret this? The house
size, unfortunately, isn't an independent variable because it's related to the bedrooms
variable, which makes sense, since bigger houses tend to have more bedrooms. So our
model isn't perfect. But we can fix this. On the Preprocess tab, you can remove columns
from the data set. Remove the houseSize column and create another model. How does it
affect the price of my house? How does this new model make more sense? (My amended
house value: $215,554).
