Case Study (Python, Tableau): estimating taxi fares in advance of the ride

Data Science is a complex discipline, full of challenges and opportunities. But what if you could learn advanced concepts such as exploratory data analysis (EDA), statistical testing, multiple regression, and machine learning models? Thanks to my new case study, which is accessible in my website's "Academy" section, this is now possible.

Case Study (Python, Tableau): estimating taxi fares in advance of the ride

Introduction to the Case Study

In the new Case Study, you will develop practical skills for estimating cab fares in advance using Python and Tableau. Inspired by the New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission (TLC), this project will guide you through a learning journey structured in 7 steps, each addressing a crucial aspect of data analysis.
