PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS OF CRYPTOCURRENCY INCOME USING MACHINE LEARNING MODELS

This research explores the potential of various machine learning models to predict cryptocurrency income. With the increasing volatility and widespread use of cryptocurrencies, accurately forecasting income from these digital assets is crucial for investors and stakeholders. By examining a dataset of cryptocurrency transactions, this study addresses the challenge of outliers and assesses the correlations between different variables to ensure robust data analysis. We employ three distinct machine learning models—Linear Regression, Decision Tree Regressor, and Random Forest Regressor—to train and evaluate the dataset. Each model is analysed to calculate performance metrics, such as Mean Squared Error (MSE) and R2 Score, which provide insights into their predictive accuracy and reliability. The detailed analysis and discussion highlight the strengths and weaknesses of each approach, emphasizing the efficiency and accuracy of the models in forecasting cryptocurrency income. The Linear Regression model, known for its simplicity, is compared against more complex models like Decision Tree and Random Forest Regressors, which can capture nonlinear relationships and interactions between variables. The Random Forest Regressor, an ensemble learning method, is particularly noted for its superior performance in handling complex datasets and providing more accurate predictions. This study's findings offer valuable insights for developing more effective investment strategies and risk management practices in the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency market. Through this comprehensive evaluation, the research aims to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on financial forecasting using machine learning techniques, paving the way for future advancements in this field.
