🔑 Key Features

1. Modular Design

  • Loosely coupled components: Each module can be used independently
  • Reusable classes: DataPreprocessor, FeatureEngineer, ModelTrainer, etc.
  • Configurable: All parameters centralized in Config class

2. Complete Pipeline

Implements all steps from your notebook:

  • ✅ Missing value imputation (mode/median)
  • ✅ Outlier detection and capping (IQR method)
  • ✅ Feature engineering (11 new features)
  • ✅ Model training (12 models)
  • ✅ Model evaluation and comparison
  • ✅ Model persistence (save/load)

3. Production-Ready

  • Fit/Transform pattern: Consistent with scikit-learn
  • Error handling: Comprehensive validation
  • Logging: Detailed execution logs
  • Type hints: Better code clarity
  • Documentation: Extensive docstrings

4. Easy to Use

# Train a model
from model_pipeline import DeliveryTimePipeline

pipeline = DeliveryTimePipeline()
results = pipeline.run_full_pipeline()

# Make predictions
from model_pipeline import DeliveryTimePredictor

predictor = DeliveryTimePredictor(model_path='models/ridge_regression.pkl')
time = predictor.predict_single(Distance_km=10, Weather='Clear', ...)

📊 What the Pipeline Does

Stage 1: Data Preprocessing

  • Loads CSV data
  • Handles missing values:
    • Categorical: Mode imputation
    • Numerical: Median imputation
  • Detects and caps outliers using IQR method (1.5x threshold)
  • Converts data types appropriately

Stage 2: Feature Engineering

Creates 11 engineered features:

Domain Features (4):

  • Estimated_Speed_kmh: Based on vehicle type
  • Time_per_km: Minutes per kilometer
  • Estimated_Travel_Time: Distance × Time_per_km
  • Total_Time_Estimate: Preparation + Travel

Binary Indicators (3):

  • Is_Rush_Hour: Morning/Evening flag
  • Is_Bad_Weather: Rainy/Snowy/Foggy flag
  • Is_High_Traffic: High traffic level flag

Categorical Bins (2):

  • Experience_Level: Novice/Intermediate/Expert
  • Distance_Category: Very_Short/Short/Medium/Long

Interactions (2):

  • Weather_Traffic: Weather × Traffic combination
  • Vehicle_Traffic: Vehicle × Traffic combination

Stage 3: Model Training

Trains 12 regression models:

  • Linear models (4): Linear, Ridge, Lasso, ElasticNet
  • Tree-based (5): Decision Tree, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, XGBoost, LightGBM
  • Others (3): AdaBoost, KNN, SVR

Stage 4: Model Evaluation

  • Creates comparison table with all metrics
  • Analyzes overfitting (train vs test gap)
  • Performs cross-validation
  • Extracts feature importance
  • Selects best model automatically

Stage 5: Model Persistence

  • Saves best model with StandardScaler
  • Includes feature names for consistency
  • Enables easy loading for inference

🚀 Quick Start

1. Test the Pipeline

python tests/test_pipeline.py

This will:

  • Run the complete pipeline
  • Train all models
  • Save the best model
  • Make test predictions
  • Verify everything works

2. Train a Model

cd model_pipeline/examples
python train_model.py

3. Make Predictions

cd model_pipeline/examples
python make_predictions.py

📖 Usage Patterns

Pattern 1: Complete Pipeline

from model_pipeline import DeliveryTimePipeline

pipeline = DeliveryTimePipeline()
results = pipeline.run_full_pipeline(
    data_path='data/Food_Delivery_Times.csv',
    save_model=True
)

Pattern 2: Individual Components

from model_pipeline import DataPreprocessor, FeatureEngineer

preprocessor = DataPreprocessor()
df_clean = preprocessor.fit_transform(df)

engineer = FeatureEngineer()
df_engineered = engineer.fit_transform(df_clean)

Pattern 3: Custom Configuration

from model_pipeline import Config, DeliveryTimePipeline

config = Config()
config.test_size = 0.3
config.random_state = 123

pipeline = DeliveryTimePipeline(config=config)
results = pipeline.run_full_pipeline()

Pattern 4: Inference Only

from model_pipeline import DeliveryTimePredictor

predictor = DeliveryTimePredictor('models/ridge_regression.pkl')

# Single prediction
time = predictor.predict_single(
    Distance_km=10.5,
    Weather='Clear',
    Traffic_Level='Medium',
    Time_of_Day='Evening',
    Vehicle_Type='Bike',
    Preparation_Time_min=15,
    Courier_Experience_yrs=3.5
)

# Batch predictions
import pandas as pd
orders = pd.read_csv('new_orders.csv')
predictions = predictor.batch_predict(orders)

✨ Advanced Features

Custom Models

from sklearn.ensemble import ExtraTreesRegressor

trainer = ModelTrainer()
trainer.models['Extra Trees'] = ExtraTreesRegressor(n_estimators=100)
results = trainer.train_all(X_train, y_train, X_test, y_test)

Feature Importance

evaluator = ModelEvaluator()
importance = evaluator.get_feature_importance(
    model, 
    feature_names, 
    top_n=20
)

Cross-Validation

cv_results = evaluator.cross_validate_models(
    models, 
    X, 
    y, 
    cv=10
)

🐛 Troubleshooting

Import errors?

  • Ensure you're in the project root directory
  • Check that all dependencies are installed

Model not found?

  • Train a model first using train_model.py
  • Check the path in Config.model_save_path

Prediction errors?

  • Ensure all required features are present
  • Check feature names match training data

Performance issues?

  • Reduce number of models in Config.model_params
  • Use smaller cv_folds for cross-validation
  • Process data in batches using batch_predict()
