Environment Setup and Exploratory Data Analysis

Before building a machine learning model, it is essential to understand the dataset and prepare the development environment. Many machine learning projects fail not because of poor algorithms but because the data was not properly analyzed before training.

Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) is the process of examining data to understand its structure, identify patterns, detect anomalies, and uncover relationships between variables. It helps data scientists make informed decisions about preprocessing, feature selection, and model development.

In this module, we will set up the Google Colab environment, import the required libraries, load the California Housing Dataset, inspect the data, and analyze relationships between features using statistical summaries and correlation analysis.
