Spring 2025 Term 2 Project - Airbnb Optimization and Causal Inference

Since the raw data is private and was requested to not be shared, this repository only includes the code, presentation, and write-up.

Project Details:

  • The project involves analyzing real business data with over 15 million observations for over 100 variables across about a decade. You will be provided raw, messy data for this project.

  • The project is designed around a Kaggle competition and the details will be shared on Day 1. Teams will compete on Kaggle to achieve an ML goal while also developing a business case.

  • The duality of the project's objectives (both data science and business case development) will provide you with a unique opportunity to do rigorous work while adhering to business needs.
