Airbnb Project Using Alteryx

Hello everyone!

 

I'm somewhat new to post on the community site here. I been using Alteryx for about a year now and I am trying to see if I can use Alteryx for a project. I am using Airbnb data (specifically listings from San Francisco) to see if we can develop a model that would help predict the price based on what the host offers. The data includes items such as monthly/weekly price, security deposit, cleaning fee, if guests are allowed, and many other variables in regards to the room you would live in. Is this sort of model something that can be developed in Alteryx?

 

Ideally, we would want to prove that as certain amenities are offered, it results in higher or lower prices. There is also a ton of text data in this dataset and that can possibly help show that certain key terms output a higher price.

 

I don't believe I have access to the Predictive Modeling tools in Alteryx. I've seen this type of project done in Python or SAS, but not in Alteryx. I'm attaching the workflow/data that I am working with. 

 

Any idea or feedback working with my workflow would be greatly appreciated! I haven't done much thus far outside of cleaning it. 

 

Thanks!

Jaffer

Hi @jas13051,

 

If you don't see the predictive tools in Alteryx, then you may just need to install them (If this is the case, then you will have a menu item under Options to do this).

 

This could be done in Alteryx, I would use a Linear Regression at first to try to predict the price.

where is the data, i downloaded the alteryx file, but no data exists. 

I think i can use machine learning to try to see if your assumptions are correct.
