ABSTRACT

Heart disease is a leading cause of death globally. Early prediction can significantly improve
patient outcomes. This project explores the use of Logistic Regression, a machine learning
technique, to develop a model for predicting heart disease risk.

i. Python:
Python is a general-purpose, high-level programming language known
for its readability and extensive ecosystem of libraries. It's popular in
data science due to its simplicity and ease of use, allowing data
scientists to focus on problem-solving rather than complex syntax.
ii. Pandas:
Pandas is a powerful library for data analysis and manipulation. It
offers high-performance, easy-to-use data structures like DataFrames,
which are two-dimensional labelled tables similar to spreadsheets.
Pandas excels in data cleaning, transformation, and analysis tasks.
iii. Numpy:
NumPy (Numerical Python) is a fundamental library for scientific
computing. It provides efficient multi-dimensional array manipulation
and mathematical operations. NumPy serves as the foundation for
many other data science libraries.
iv. Scikit-learn:
Scikit-learn (Scikit Learn) is a comprehensive machine learning
library. It provides a wide range of supervised and unsupervised
learning algorithms for tasks like classification, regression, clustering,
and model selection. Scikit-learn is known for its user-friendly
interface and efficient tools for data preprocessing and model
evaluation.
v. Matplotlib:
Matplotlib is a popular library for creating static, animated, and
interactive visualizations. It offers various plots like line charts, scatter
plots, bar charts, and histograms. Matplotlib allows for extensive
customization to tailor the appearance of plots for effective data
exploration and communication.
