Description
Summary:This study compares tree-based machine learning algorithms for predicting Bucharest residential apartment prices. Using a dataset from March 2025, comprehensive preprocessing—including imputation, categorical encoding, and feature engineering (e.g., distance to public transport)—was applied. Models were optimized via grid search with 5-fold cross-validation and evaluated using RMSE, MAE, and R². Results show XGBoost outperforms Random Forest and Decision Tree models across all metrics.
