    Titanic Classification Disaster Kaggle

    This document summarizes the steps taken to clean and prepare the Titanic dataset for machine learning analysis. It describes how certain fields like PassengerId, Pclass, and Age were transformed into new fields like Class and AgeGroup to simplify the data. A decision tree model was then generated using the Weka tool that showed gender and class were important factors in predicting survival, with females in higher classes and embarking from Cherbourg or Queenstown more likely to survive. The model achieved 81% accuracy on the training data.

    Field Action Comment
    PassengerId Removed Not needed for analysis as it’s
    just an identifier
    Survived Converted to No/Yes Needed Nominal identifier
    Pclass Removed -> created Class Needed Nominal Identifier
    column instead
    Class New column Simple calculation based upon
    PClass
    Age Removed -> created AgeGroup Wanted simple classification
    class coding
    AgeGroup Formula based; some values not Arbitrarily did the following:
    supplied. But ended up with 4 =IF(F2="", "Unk",IF(F2<10,
    group other than Unknown "Child", IF(F2<20, "Adolescent",
    (Child, Adolescent, Adult, Old) IF(F2<50, "Adult", "Old"))))
    Ecode Removed -> created class Needed nominal identifier
