Step 1 - Accessing the Data Set:

The script starts by loading the housing dataset, casting variables, and providing an initial look at the data.

Step 2 - Exploratory Data Analysis and Data Visualization:

This section includes data summary statistics, correlation analysis, histograms, and box plots to gain insights into the dataset.

Step 3 - Data Transformation:

Here, missing values are imputed, and new variables are created to enhance the dataset. Feature scaling is also performed.

Step 4 - Creating Training and Test Sets:

The data is split into training and test sets for model development and evaluation.

Step 5 - Supervised Machine Learning - Regression:

Using the randomForest package, a random forest regression model is trained on the training data.

Step 6 - Evaluating Model Performance:

This step involves evaluating the model's performance using metrics like Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) on both the training and test sets. Variable importance is also visualized to understand the key factors influencing the model's predictions.
