Titanic was a British passenger liner that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the early morning hours of 15 April, 1912 after it collided with an iceberg during its maiden voyage. Here, I present you the solution of a classical classification problem which will predict who will be likely to survive if a similar disaster takes place (hypothetically speaking).

I have extensively focused on the feature engineering and interpretation and importance of different feature which leads to survival of passenger.

After that, I have applied different classification algorithms on the cleaned dataset to get an idea which one works best with this dataset.

Go through the script below to get more insight. The link to overview of problem and data set is here.
