Investigating Sensors in Vehicles

IMB SPSS Modeler, R

Developed a predictive analytics model using IBM SPSS Modeler to analyze automotive sensor data and identify patterns associated with vehicle performance and potential failures. Cleaned, prepared, and transformed raw sensor datasets, then applied data mining techniques to build classification/predictive models. Evaluated model performance using accuracy metrics and validation techniques to improve reliability. The project demonstrated how sensor-driven insights can support predictive maintenance and early fault detection in automotive systems. Done for an assignment in my data mining course.
