# Diabetes Prediction using Decision Tree Regressor
This project implements a diabetes prediction model using the diabetes dataset from scikit-learn and a Decision Tree Regressor.
The dataset used in this project is the diabetes dataset from scikit-learn. It contains ten baseline variables, age, sex, body mass index, average blood pressure, and six blood serum measurements for 442 diabetes patients. The target variable is a quantitative measure of disease progression one year after baseline.
We used a Decision Tree Regressor from scikit-learn to predict diabetes progression. Decision trees are versatile machine learning algorithms that can be used for both classification and regression tasks.
The main steps of the implementation include:
- Loading the diabetes dataset
- Preprocessing the data
- Splitting the data into training and testing sets
- Creating and training the Decision Tree Regressor model
- Making predictions on the test set
- Evaluating the model's performance
This heatmap shows the correlation between different features in the dataset.
