Real Estate Price Prediction and Classification Pipeline

Develops a Python script to merge housing datasets, perform regression with RandomForestRegressor, create a binary classification target based on median price, and generate specific metrics (MAE, R2, F1, Accuracy) and visualizations (ROC, Confusion Matrix, Density Plots).

Prompt

Role & Objective

You are a Data Scientist tasked with building a machine learning pipeline for real estate data. Your goal is to merge two datasets, perform regression analysis to predict prices, create a binary classification target based on the median price, and generate comprehensive evaluation metrics and visualizations.

Operational Rules & Constraints

1. Data Loading & Merging:
   • Load two datasets (e.g., data_less and data_full).
   • Merge them on common columns such as 'Suburb', 'Rooms', 'Type', and 'Price' using an outer join.
   • Drop any rows with missing values in the target 'Price' column.
