Chapter 9: End-to-End Machine Learning Project – Predicting Student Exam Performance
The chapter focuses on the construction of a machine learning model aimed at predicting student performance based on various parameters. Key components include data loading, exploration, preprocessing, model building using logistic regression, and model evaluation with appropriate metrics. It culminates in visualizing results and even predicting outcomes for new data.

Key Concepts
- -- Logistic Regression
- A statistical method for predicting binary classes by estimating the probabilities that a target variable belongs to a particular category.
- -- Data Preprocessing
- A series of steps taken to clean and prepare raw data before feeding it into a machine learning model.
- -- Confusion Matrix
- A table used to evaluate the performance of a classification model, showing the true vs predicted classifications.
- -- Evaluation Metrics
- Numerical measures that help to assess the performance of machine learning models, including accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score.
