Earthquake Damage in Nepal
In this project, we worked with data from Open Data Nepal to build a model to predict building damage from the Nepal 2015 Earthquake. We primarily focused on data from the Gorkha district, with additional examples from Ramechhap.
Some of the things you’ll learn in this project are:
- How to get data by querying a SQL database.
- How to build a logistic regression model for classification.
- How to build a decision tree model for classification.
- How to incorporate ethical considerations into your model building.l
This project consists of 5 Notebooks:
- Wrangling Data with SQL
- Predicting Damage with Logistic Regression
- Predicting Damage with Decision Trees
- Beyond the Model: Data Ethics
- Earthquake Damage in Kavrepalanchok
