Example ML Pipeline

You can download the model and the scaler from the releases page. After that you can make predictions with the following pipeline:

import pickle

f = open("./models/linear_regression.sav", "rb")
model = pickle.load(f)
f.close()

f = open("./models/standard_scalar.sav", "rb")
standard_scaler = pickle.load(f)
f.close()

# Predicting salary for junior professionals working at a large size company
y_pred = model.predict( [[1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0]] )
salary = standard_scaler.inverse_transform( y_pred )
print(salary)

Input data structure

The input data is one hot encoded. The first 4 columns are for the experience levels:

• Entry-level / Junior
• Mid-level / Intermediate
• Senior-level / Expert
• Executive-level / Director

The last 3 columns are for the company size:

• less than 50 employees
• 50 to 250 employees
• more than 250 employees

For example if you want to encode a senior level professional working at a company with 50 to 250 employees you would create the following array: [0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1, 0].
