DESCRIPTION Identify the level of income qualification needed for the families in Latin America. Problem Statement Scenario: Many social programs have a hard time ensuring that the right people are given enough aid. It’s tricky when a program focuses on the poorest segment of the population. This segment of the population can’t provide the necessary income and expense records to prove that they qualify. In Latin America, a popular method called Proxy Means Test (PMT) uses an algorithm to verify income qualification. With PMT, agencies use a model that considers a family’s observable household attributes like the material of their walls and ceiling or the assets found in their homes to classify them and predict their level of need. While this is an improvement, accuracy remains a problem as the region’s population grows and poverty declines. The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB)believes that new methods beyond traditional econometrics, based on a dataset of Costa Rican household characteristics, might help improve PMT’s performance. Following actions should be performed: Identify the output variable. Understand the type of data. Check if there are any biases in your dataset. Check whether all members of the house have the same poverty level. Check if there is a house without a family head. Set poverty level of the members and the head of the house within a family. Count how many null values are existing in columns. Remove null value rows of the target variable. Predict the accuracy using random forest classifier. Check the accuracy using random forest with cross validation.

Income Qualification using random forest classifier.

We are all well aware of coaches working in sport but what exactly do they do and what is coaching outside of sport? Well the answer is that coaching is the action of improving personal knowledge and development and growth in any area. Coaching enables individuals to look at their lives in the whole taking into account all areas of a persons' life and reconsidering the goals, activity and direction in each area as well as the balance between competing demands. The main reason why people turn to coaches simply is to get more out of life, whether this is in terms of relationships, career, health, sport, well being, spirituality, learning, life-style, or creativity. Typically people turn to coaches when they are no longer getting the results that they are seeking. This point can be a crisis, period of transition, or it can even be a frustration in a particular aspect of personal performance. Many people, however, are now aware of the benefits of coaching and are realizing that they can get more out of any aspect of their lives through working with a coach well before aspects of their lives begin to become problematic. A keen equestrian has a fall and loses confidence and works with a coach to rebuild her confidence. Realizing the changes, she continues to develop her understanding of her work life values and relationships and makes changes in her life and work as a result. A highly successful businessman works with a coach to improve his golf game - realizes the approaches are applicable to his business life and continues to develop his goals and motivation together with a breakthrough session to remove limiting beliefs which he found holding him back. His target - to double his business in twelve months. He takes a life coach for personal development Course and develops a new range of approaches to working with himself and with others clearly confident in doubling his income which he does. A teacher takes a distance learning coaching course to work with students better, realities he has no life goals or targets himself and sets about transforming his life, doubles his salary, gets a new house and eventually lets go of old beliefs and values and embarks on a totally new career and life-style. Life coach for personal development is about personal transformation and growth. It teaches us that we have options in every aspect of our lives. It shows us why we live within frameworks of values, beliefs, behaviors, and habits and it gives us choice in every area. So why do so may people spend so much time and money on self help books with such limited impact? The reason is simple. When you are learning about your own mind, it's far more effective to work with another, more skilled mind to get the changes you want. Coach for life personal development compel to action simply through natural human interaction. They challenge with skillful questions at the right time. They provoke within a context of rapport to challenge beliefs and values. They enlighten with a range of approaches and techniques to reveal to the client representations of the clients own experience which they simply were not aware of. A life coach for personal development work within what they call a framework of ecology. What this means is that they consider all the consequences of any course of action for a client. Yes a client could double his or her income but if this had a negative impact on their health or relationships the coach can easily lead the client to a deep understanding of all the consequences of their action so that they can adjust behavior accordingly. The personal development Coaching Process The coaching process is focused on you. It begins with a detailed personal history which is much more than it sounds. It's not just a detailed personal history in terms of your upbringing relationships, career etc. It will start your internal unconscious processes working to re-evaluate your values and aspirations before any formal work begins. You may complete an audit and review of your current context and then choose an area to work on. Breakthrough The coach then begins an intensive programme called a breakthrough process which elicits and ranks your core values in a chosen area of your life - typically these are broad contexts such as Relationships, Career, Wealth, Health, and can also focus on personal contexts such as creativity, spirituality, and sporting interests. Addressing limiting beliefs, behaviors and values In order to be able to move forward in your life the coach works with you to identify the limits which your previous learning, experience and upbringing may be placing on you. Having identified these the coach will use specific techniques which will then give you choice over whether to modify these or not. Learning that you have choice over these aspects of you make up is a tremendously liberating experience - hence the breakthrough tag on the process. Creating a new pattern to live to We all work and life to our own internal patterns, goals and aspirations. We do this whether we acknowledge this or not. These patterns shape our daily and lifelong behavior. Becoming aware of the programmes we operate by through working with a skilled professional coach and giving ourselves choice over these is the key point of the whole coaching process. Working with your coach, using specific techniques, the coach will assist you in the development of a revised personal conceptualization - plan - vision - sense of - schema - of your present and future life. The imprinting events which shape our lives for decades are acquired really quickly and can be revised just a quickly. In fact, when we realist where our imprinting events are we can be shocked at how casually we adopt these and the lasting impact they have on us long, long after they were relevant or served our personal needs. The life coach for personal development knows how to develop & rebuild your new internal aspirations and programmes with you so that they impact on your daily beliefs and behaviours and then works with you to achieve this. Follow up This is the followed up by a process of clean up of any further limiting beliefs, less helpful behaviors or sustaining new changes. Ideally you will now have a very detailed written description of your future in every respect. The writing process is important to pattern unconscious learning into conscious thought - this directs the attention of the unconscious mind which then automatically matches actions, thoughts, opportunity taking to meet the new programmes you are working towards. Choosing a life coach for personal development, There are no standard qualifications which coaches have to have but there are some standards which will give you a great deal of security in choosing someone to work with. You will see many coaching courses for life personal development available however these may not give the coach the full range of skills needed. The main ones to check for, are that they have an advanced qualification in Life Coach Wise Programming.They might also have additional coaching qualifications but these are generally focused on goal setting and low level rational processes which are limited in effectiveness without the Practitioner Certification. You will see Coaches with Life Coach Wise Coaching Certification as well -such coaches are well prepared to support you in your development. Life Coach Wise Master Practitioner This is the ideal training needed to coach you. Master Practitioners are able to work with values, beliefs, behaviors, limiting beliefs, early patterning issues and even significant trauma. Ideally they will have additional certification in Hypnotherapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy thought this is a useful bonus and not essential. Life Coach Wise Trainer Such coaches have generally the highest level of capability of skills available and can work fluidly and flexibly to coach you to the outcomes you are looking for. They should be actively training and you should be able to assess their abilities by attending one of their shorter seminars. Life personal development coaching is about working with you to achieve personal excellence in any area of your life. Many coaches set themselves up in response to some sort of unwanted transition in their lives. Why model these people? Choose a life coach for personal development who is successful and effective in their own lives. You may not personally like them but you are not looking for a friend - you may need someone who can lead you out of your comfort zone What you can do on your own There are many 'Be Your Own Life Coach For Personal Development' books available which will give you a good introduction to personal development.

Income Qualification Project using Machine Learning in Python

The Inter-American Development Bank is asking the Kaggle community for help with income qualification for some of the world's poorest families . The challenge consists on identifying which households have the highest need for social welfare assistance. Here is my repo on how to solve this challenge.

Purdue/Simplilearn Project

Problem Statement Scenario: Many social programs have a hard time ensuring that the right people are given enough aid. It’s tricky when a program focuses on the poorest segment of the population. This segment of the population can’t provide the necessary income and expense records to prove that they qualify. In Latin America, a popular method called Proxy Means Test (PMT) uses an algorithm to verify income qualification. With PMT, agencies use a model that considers a family’s observable household attributes like the material of their walls and ceiling or the assets found in their homes to classify them and predict their level of need. While this is an improvement, accuracy remains a problem as the region’s population grows and poverty declines. The Inter-American Development Bank (IDB)believes that new methods beyond traditional econometrics, based on a dataset of Costa Rican household characteristics, might help improve PMT’s performance.
