Model Details

Gejun Zhu created this logistic regression model with default hyperparameters in scikit-learn 0.24.2.

Intended Use

This model predicts whether the salary of a given person will be over 50k or not.

Training Data

The data was obtained from UCI Machine Learning Repository (https://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/datasets/census+income).

Evaluation Data

The original was splitted into 80/20. 80% was used for training, and the rest 20% was used for evaluation.

Metrics

• Precision: 0.7285
• Recall: 0.2699
• fbeta: 0.3939

Ethical Considerations

The data was obtained from public census in 1994. There is no any decision making based on this prediction. Hence, there is not ethical concerns.

Caveats and Recommendations

• Would boost model performance when using more complex model
• Feature engineering such as creating new features
