Why Accuracy Lied to Me: Predicting Traffic Accident Severity on 7.7M Records

1. 1Load the dataset of 7.7M traffic accident records using Python
2. 2Preprocess the data by handling missing values and encoding categorical features
3. 3Train a machine learning model to predict accident severity using features such as location, time, and weather
4. 4Evaluate the model's performance using metrics beyond accuracy, such as precision, recall, and F1-score
5. 5Compare the results of different models and techniques to improve prediction accuracy

Data scientists and machine learning engineers can benefit from this article to improve their model's performance and avoid common mistakes in evaluating accuracy

💡 Accuracy can be misleading, use additional metrics like precision, recall, and F1-score to get a more comprehensive understanding of model performance
