Abstract

As artificial intelligence and machine learning become more and more advanced nowadays, they have been used in vast fields. As a fundamental and mature topic, housing price prediction remains popular among machine learning workers and researchers. Housing price prediction can contribute a lot to the real estate market and global economy as well as making it much more effective for investors to make decisions. There is a great variety of algorithms in machine learning, and algorithms are still updating as time passes. Housing price prediction applies a reasonable background for researchers conducting machine learning research. Linear regression and decision trees are two popular algorithms in machine learning, which are both possible for housing price prediction. Linear regression can fit a “line” that follows how housing prices change as variables change, while decision trees can also forecast house prices as their trees become deeper and deeper. In this research, the author will compare the performance and accuracy of linear regression and decision trees when used to predict house prices.
