uniformity
Normalization
Numerical values such as Crime Count were normalized to a standard
scale to ensure compatibility with machine learning algorithms. This
step helps improve the model's convergence speed and performance by
preventing features with larger scales from dominating the training
process.
Model Architecture
Validation
5-fold cross-validation enhanced robustness by training on four subsets and
validating on one, reducing bias and ensuring consistent results across data
samples.
Metrics
Performance was measured using Mean Squared Error (MSE) and an R² score
of ~0.87, reflecting strong prediction accuracy. Monitoring these metrics
helped detect overfitting or underfitting for timely adjustments.
Tools
Python libraries like Scikit-learn, Pandas, and NumPy were used for efficient
and reliable model training and data processing.
System Integration
These models can capture temporal dependencies and seasonal trends more effectively
than current methods, leading to better crime trend predictions.
Granular Data
Use district-level crime location data.
This more detailed data will allow the system to detect localized patterns and hotspots,
enhancing predictive precision for specific neighborhoods.
External Factors
Incorporate population and event data.
By considering demographic shifts and planned events, the model can account for
external influences on crime rates, improving forecasting robustness.
Visualization Enhancements
Add geographic heatmaps for spatial analysis.
These interactive heatmaps will help users visually identify high-risk areas and
temporal changes in crime, supporting better decision-making by stakeholders.
