Power Plant Regression Analysis

A notebook study comparing linear, polynomial and nearest-neighbor regression on the UCI Combined Cycle Power Plant dataset.

My Role

Implemented the exploratory analysis, regression comparisons and notebook documentation.

Team Size: 1 person

Problem

Different regression models capture different relationships between atmospheric measurements and recorded energy output. The assignment compares those assumptions on a common dataset.

Approach

Explored feature relationships, fitted simple and multiple linear models, added polynomial interactions, and compared nearest-neighbor regression with normalized features.

Impact

Documented the model comparisons and their dataset-specific behavior. The coursework does not establish operational improvements, grid-management impact or deployment at a power plant.
