Data Import and Preprocessing:
The script begins by importing necessary libraries and setting up environment variables. It then downloads data from a specified source (fraud-detection) and unzips/tars it into the '/kaggle/input' directory. The downloaded dataset is then read into a pandas DataFrame and initial preprocessing steps are performed. Missing values in numeric columns are imputed, assuming certain strategies such as filling with median or 0 for binary variables. Factorization (label encoding) is applied to categorical variables. Decision Tree Model Building:
The dataset is split into features (X) and target variable (y). Train-test split is performed with a 70-30 ratio. A decision tree classifier is instantiated and trained on the training data. Predictions are made on the test data. Accuracy and classification report (including precision, recall, F1-score) are computed and printed. GitHub README Description:
For the GitHub README file, you can structure the description as follows: Introduction: Briefly introduce the purpose of the script (fraud detection) and its components. Data Import and Preprocessing: Describe how the data is fetched, uncompressed, and preprocessed. Model Building: Explain how the decision tree model is constructed, trained, and evaluated. Usage: Mention any specific instructions or dependencies for running the script. Example Output: Provide an example of the output or results obtained from running the script. Credits and License: Give credit to the original author or data source, and specify the license if applicable. By following this structure, users will have a clear understanding of what the script does and how to use it for their own purposes.
