Insurance cost prediction using linear regression
Make a submisson here: https://jovian.ai/learn/deep-learning-with-pytorch-zero-to-gans/assignment/assignment-2-train-your-first-model
In this assignment we're going to use information like a person's age, sex, BMI, no. of children and smoking habit to predict the price of yearly medical bills. This kind of model is useful for insurance companies to determine the yearly insurance premium for a person. The dataset for this problem is taken from Kaggle.
We will create a model with the following steps:
- Download and explore the dataset
- Prepare the dataset for training
- Create a linear regression model
- Train the model to fit the data
- Make predictions using the trained model
This assignment builds upon the concepts from the first 2 lessons. It will help to review these Jupyter notebooks:
- PyTorch basics: https://jovian.ai/aakashns/01-pytorch-basics
- Linear Regression: https://jovian.ai/aakashns/02-linear-regression
- Logistic Regression: https://jovian.ai/aakashns/03-logistic-regression

As you go through this notebook, you will find a ??? in certain places. Your job is to replace the ??? with appropriate code or values, to ensure that the notebook runs properly end-to-end . In some cases, you'll be required to choose some hyperparameters (learning rate, batch size etc.). Try to experiment with the hypeparameters to get the lowest loss.

Step 1: Download and explore the data
Let us begin by downloading the data. We'll use the download_url
function from PyTorch to get the data as a CSV (comma-separated values) file.
