'MRG', 'TOP_PACK', 'REGION'
Help · 30 Oct 2021, 20:39 · 5

Hi. Can someone explain why they dropped 'MRG', 'TOP_PACK' and 'REGION' in the starter notebook please?

Thank you

I am not exactly sure but i feel they randomly dropped the colomns since it might not have an impact on the accuracy of the model.

Actually, region is pretty predictive. But you have to engineer it. Same as top_pack.

You're welcome. Catboost and Random forest models seem to capture it very well.
