Predict-Blood-Donations

Problem

Predicting if a Blood Donor will donate within a given time window?

Application

By solving this problem the blood donation camps can get 40% more blood donors.

Sourcerer

Code Requirements

The example code is in Python (version 3.6.6 or higher will work).

Dependencies

1. import pandas
2. import numpy
3. import seaborn
4. import matplotlib
5. import Counter
6. import sklearn

Description

Use Python to explore data related to blood donors and we want to predict whether or not a donor will give blood the next time when the blood donation will be organised.

• This process will be done using a Jupyter Notebook.
• The code should run w/o errors.
• Appropriate use of
  • data structures/types
  • loops/conditional statements
  • Packages
  • functions
  • coding practices (i.e. Docstrings, comments, variable names & general readability)
• Analysis
  • Pose questions about the data
  • Inspect the structure of the original data (very important)
  • Clean the data
  • Answer questions about the data using descriptive statistics
  • Visualize the data (using plt and seaborn)
  • Perform additional exploratory analysis
  • Consider where data analysis can be applied to other fields.
• Feature Engineering
  • Using domain knowledge of the data to create features that make machine learning algorithms work.
• Machine Learning
  • Use of Random Forest, Extra Trees, Gradient Boosting, SVC classifiers.

File Descriptions

• ./data/ contains the various datasets.
• ./Blood Donation Prediction.ipynb is a Jupyter notebook containing the work I have done.
