A machine learning based approach to study the fertilization of sea urchin on varying pH

Description:

Our objective is to implement a machine learning-based approach to predict the fertilization of sea urchin on varying pH. The dataset has 26 features such as site properties, pH, and sperm concentration. Information regarding the dataset can be found on the site mentioned below. We studied dataset through data visualisation techniques and Exploratory Data Analysis(EDA). We performed PCA analysis for further optimisation. Our target variables are Normally fertilised eggs, Unfertilised eggs, Abnormal fertilised eggs, Abnormal eggs. We applied suitable machine learning models to optimise the predictability of the target variables.

Prerequisites:

Knowledge of different machine learning implementation models such as Linear Regression, Random Forest, Neural Network, KNN regression. A basic understanding of Sea Urchin, how fertilisation is affected by certain factors such as temperature, sperm concentration etc. Participants should know the intermediate level of python implementation and basic data visualisation methods. It is a great read for nature enthusiasts.
