Bigmart is a big supermarket chain, with stores all around the country. The management of the shop had set out a challenge to all Data Scientist to help them create a model that can predict the sales per product for each store. The shop has collected sales data of products across 10 stores in different cities over a given period of time.

Breakdown of the Problem Statement:

This is a supervised machine learning problem with a target label as (Item_Outlet_Sales)

Also since we are expected to predict the sale price for a given product, it becomes a regression task.

In order for you to make the best out of this tutorial, I have made a video explanation of this in order for you to get a better understanding of the concepts.

The Big Mart data science challenge is one of the good applications of data science, especially with regards to data preparation.

If you are a beginner, this is definitely a project you might want to pursue.

You can download the dataset here

Follow and practice along.

Before we start, please note that this tutorial is part of the Data Science Project Mastery Program, which is a practical hands-on data science tutorial for anyone to learn data science right from the basics to advance by building projects and great Data Science Portfolio. Feel free to check it out.
