The process of preparing test and train data for a logistic regression model in Python that can predict the "next X days" can be divided into the following steps:
- Import the necessary libraries - Pandas, NumPy, and Sklearn.
- Load the dataset into a Pandas dataframe and clean/preprocess the data.
- Split the dataset into two parts: the training set and the test set.
- Identify the independent variables (features) and the dependent variable (target).
- Select the features that are relevant to the prediction task.
- Scale the feature values using standardization or normalization.
- Split the training set into subsets for training and validation.
- Train the logistic regression model on the training data using sklearn.
- Evaluate the performance of the model on the validation data.
- Use the trained model to predict the "next X days" on the test set.
- Evaluate the performance of the model on the test data.
- Fine-tune the model hyperparameters to improve performance.
- Deploy the model to predict future outcomes.
