Project Flow

• A user who want to predict the house price in CA can visit the site home page.
• In the form the user have to enter the values required to predict the house price in CA.
• After submiting form the request is sent to mindsdb server by node.js server to predict the house price for the given input.
• The node.js server get the response from the mindsdb server with the data.
• In the result page the value of the house price, Ocean proximity along with the California median values by Ocean Proximity is displayed.

Installation

Steps to run app on localhost

Step 1] Clone the project from github:

  git clone https://github.com/bakkeshks/HomeScopeCA.git

Step 2] Install the dependencies:

  npm install

Step 3] Install the latest version of MindsDB Docker Image (Docker Engine must installed on your local machine):

  docker pull mindsdb/mindsdb
  sudo systemctl start docker

Step 4] Download the dataset from kaggle:

https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/camnugent/california-housing-prices

Step 5] Run this command to start MindsDB in Docker.

docker run -p 47334:47334 -p 47335:47335 mindsdb/mindsdb

Step 6] Go to http://localhost:47334 & select the option to upload the data through files (.csv).

Step 7] Import the housing.csv & give home_table as the name of the table in the datasource name field.

Step 8] After you press save , it will import data to files database and it had created home_table in the files.

Step 9] Once table is created , you have to create & train the model with the data.

Train the Model:

CREATE MODEL
mindsdb.home_model
FROM files
(SELECT * FROM home_table)
PREDICT median_house_value;

Predict the model:

SELECT median_house_value
FROM home_model
WHERE longitude='-122.23' AND
latitude=37.88 AND
housing_median_age=41 AND
total_rooms=880 AND
total_bedrooms=129 AND
population=322 AND
households=126 AND
median_income=8.3252 AND
ocean_proximity='NEAR BAY'

Step 10] Now you can write the query & predit the value in the mindsdb editor.

Step 11] Start the node.js server on your machine:

node app.js
