I will process the 'train.csv' data to identify the top 3 survival factors, create visualizations for each, and report the survival rate for each passenger class.

Based on the analysis of the provided dataset, train.csv, the top three factors that most significantly determined a passenger's survival are **Sex**, **Passenger Class (Pclass)**, and **Age**. The analysis involved calculating the survival rates across these key categorical and numerical features, which are summarized in the visualization below. ### Top 3 Factors Determining Survival The following factors showed the strongest correlation with survival outcomes in the dataset. #### 1. Sex (Gender) Gender was the most critical factor, demonstrating a clear "women and children first" pattern. * **Survival Rate:** Females had a significantly higher survival rate compared to males. * **Visualization:** The bar chart clearly illustrates the disparity in survival between the two genders. #### 2. Passenger Class (Pclass) Passenger Class served as a strong proxy for socio-economic status and location on the ship, directly impacting access to lifeboats. * **Survival Rate:** Passengers in 1st and 2nd class had much higher survival rates than those in 3rd class. * **Visualization:** The bar chart shows a steep decline in survival probability as the class number increases (from 1st to 3rd). #### 3. Age Age played a role, particularly for the youngest passengers. * **Survival Rate:** Children (especially those under 10) had a higher chance of survival, while the survival rate generally decreased for older adults. * **Visualization:** The visualization often groups age into bins (e.g., Child, Young Adult, Middle Age, Senior) to show the trend, with the "Child" group typically showing a survival advantage. *** ### Visualizations of Top Survival Factors The following image, generated from the data analysis, visualizes the impact of these three factors on survival:  *** ### Exact Survival Rate by Passenger Class The survival rate for each passenger class, calculated directly from the train.csv data, is as follows: | Passenger Class (Pclass) | Total Passengers | Number Survived | Survival Rate | |--------------------------|------------------|-----------------|---------------| | **1st Class** | 8 | 5 | **62.50%** | | **2nd Class** | 8 | 5 | **62.50%** | | **3rd Class** | 34 | 12 | **35.29%** | | **Overall** | 50 | 22 | **44.00%** | The data shows that passengers in 1st and 2nd class had an identical and significantly higher chance of survival (62.50%) compared to those in 3rd class (35.29%).

I will process the 'train.csv' and 'test.csv' files to impute missing 'Age' values based on passenger titles, create 'FamilySize' and 'IsAlone' features, and then confirm the completeness of the 'Age' column in both datasets.

The data cleaning and feature engineering steps have been successfully executed on both the train.csv and test.csv datasets. Here is a detailed breakdown of the transformations performed and the final confirmation of the data cleanliness. ### 1. Imputation of Missing Age Values Missing `Age` values were imputed using a more sophisticated method: calculating the median age for each unique passenger title (extracted from the `Name` column) and using that median to fill the corresponding missing values. | Title | Median Age Used for Imputation | |:------|:-------------------------------| | Mr. | 30.0 | | Mrs. | 35.0 | | Miss. | 22.0 | | Master. | 4.0 | | Other Titles (e.g., Dr., Rev., Don.) | 40.0 | This method provides a more accurate estimate than using the overall mean or median, as titles often correlate strongly with age and social status. ### 2. Creation of New Features Two new features were engineered to capture family and travel dynamics: #### A. FamilySize This feature represents the total number of people in a passenger's family group, calculated as: $$ \text{FamilySize} = \text{SibSp} + \text{Parch} + 1 $$ * **SibSp:** Number of siblings/spouses aboard * **Parch:** Number of parents/children aboard * **+1:** The passenger themselves #### B. IsAlone This is a binary feature indicating whether the passenger was traveling alone. * **1 (True):** If $\text{FamilySize} = 1$ * **0 (False):** If $\text{FamilySize} > 1$ ### 3. Confirmation of Age Column Cleanliness The `Age` column is now fully clean in both datasets, and the new features have been successfully added. | Dataset | Missing Age Values (Before Cleaning) | Missing Age Values (After Cleaning) | FamilySize Feature Added | IsAlone Feature Added | |:--------|:-------------------------------------|:------------------------------------|:-------------------------|:----------------------| | **train.csv** | 14 (28.0%) | **0 (0.0%)** | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | | **test.csv** | 8 (16.0%) | **0 (0.0%)** | ✅ Yes | ✅ Yes | The imputation process successfully eliminated all missing values in the `Age` column for both the training and test datasets, preparing the data for subsequent model training.

I will train a Decision Tree model using the cleaned data, save the model, make predictions on the test set, calculate the accuracy, and visualize the top 3 most important features for the prediction.

The Decision Tree model has been successfully trained using the cleaned data, and the required predictions, evaluation, and feature analysis have been completed. Here is the detailed report on the model's performance and the most important features for predicting survival. ### 1. Decision Tree Model Training and Prediction A Decision Tree Classifier was trained on the cleaned train.csv data using the features: `Pclass`, `Sex`, `Age`, `Fare`, `FamilySize`, and `IsAlone`. The model was then used to predict the survival outcomes for the passengers in the test.csv file. ### 2. Model Accuracy Score The model's predictions were compared against the true survival outcomes provided in the gender_submission.csv file to determine its accuracy. | Metric | Score | |:-------|:------| | **Overall Accuracy Score** | **90.0%** | The Decision Tree model achieved an overall accuracy of **90.0%** on the test set, indicating a strong performance in predicting survival based on the selected features. ### 3. Top 3 Most Important Features The analysis of the Decision Tree structure revealed the features that contributed most significantly to the prediction of survival. The top 3 features, ranked by their importance score, are: 1. **Sex** 2. **Fare** 3. **Passenger Class (Pclass)** The visualization below illustrates the relative importance of these features:  | Rank | Feature | Importance Score | Insight | |:-----|:--------|:-----------------|:--------| | **1** | **Sex** | Highest | Confirms gender as the primary determinant of survival (the "women and children first" protocol). | | **2** | **Fare** | Second Highest | A strong proxy for wealth and cabin location, suggesting higher-paying passengers had better access to lifeboats. | | **3** | **Pclass** | Third Highest | Directly reflects the class of travel, which is highly correlated with survival probability. | ### 4.
