# Car Price Prediction

## Introduction

In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of building a powerful machine learning model using [Catalyst QuickML](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/quickml/getting-started/introduction/) to predict car prices.

> **Note:** QuickML is currently not available to users accessing from the CA (Canada) data center. If your account is created in the CA DC (accounts.zohocloud.ca/), you will not be able to avail this service.

We'll first do [preprocess the datasets](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/quickml/help/data-preprocessing/data-cleaning/) to make sure they're tidy and prepared for training. A [data pipeline](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/quickml/help/create-data-pipeline/) will be built next to handle data transformation, and an [ML pipeline](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/quickml/help/create-ml-pipeline/) will be built to train and test the model. Finally, we will provide an [endpoint](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/quickml/help/pipeline-endpoints/) for the trained model that enables interaction with external apps and provides car price predictions. The reason for building two pipelines is because we can reuse the data pipeline to build any number of ML pipelines in the future.

The Car Price Prediction ML model is built using the following Catalyst service:

**[Catalyst QuickML](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/quickml/getting-started/introduction/)** : Using this service, we will first preprocess the sample dataset by implementing [node operations](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/quickml/help/data-preprocessing/data-cleaning/) on them and constructing the [data pipeline](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/quickml/help/create-data-pipeline/). This preprocessed data will be used to create an ML model by executing [ML algorithms](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/quickml/help/ml-algorithms/classification-algorithms/). Finally, the Car Price Prediction ML model can be accessed by external applications using the [endpoint URL](https://docs.catalyst.zoho.com/en/quickml/help/pipeline-endpoints/) generated in QuickML.

The final output, after creating all the required data and ML pipelines in the [Catalyst console](https://console.catalyst.zoho.com/baas/index), will look like this:
