Knime - Project Report

The document describes a project to predict a country's Environmental Performance Index score using regression analysis on various environmental measures. The analysis required importing an Excel dataset, removing unnecessary columns and duplicate rows, normalizing the data, and splitting it into training and test sets. A random forest regression model was trained on the training set and achieved 97.4% accuracy on the test set, demonstrating it can effectively predict a country's EPI score based on environmental indicators. Normalization of the data was found to improve model accuracy. The project aims to help identify factors contributing to high environmental performance.

1. Project Description
The Environmental Performance Index is a global rating system that ranks nations based on their
environmental health. It provides a data-driven evaluation of the global level of sustainability.

The Environmental Performance Index (EPI) ranks 180 countries on 32 performance indicators
in the following 11 issue categories: air quality, sanitation and drinking water, heavy metals,
waste management, biodiversity and habitat, ecosystem services, fisheries, climate change,
pollution emissions, agriculture, and water resources. These categories track performance and
progress on two broad policy objectives, environmental health, and ecosystem vitality.

EPI measures help to identify issues, define goals, follow trends, understand outcomes, and
identify effective policy methods.

The Environmental Performance Index (EPI) statistics show that financial resources, excellent
governance, human development, and regulatory quality all play a role in boosting a country’s
sustainability. EPI helps decision-makers to identify all these factors that contribute to top-tier
performance.

By emphasizing these connections, the EPI contributes to the promotion of sustainable


development in support of a more ecologically secure and equitable future.

name, code, region, eu27, g20, environmental performance index, air quality,
environmental health, household solid fuels, ozone exposure, sanitation and
drinking water, ecosystem vitality, biodiversity and habitat, ecosystem services and
many other.

5. Implementation and Testing (stage/module wise)

a) Excel Reader
Reading the excel file using this node.

b) Column Filter
Removing unnecessary columns

c) Normalizer
Normalizing the data using min-max normalization

d) Partitioning
Dividing the dataset into two parts: 80% of training data and 20% of test data

e) Random Forest Learner (Regression)


Applying random forest technique on the training dataset to train the model. The EPI
score is taken as the target variable.

f) Random Forest Predictor (Regression)


Applying model to the test data.

g) Numeric Scorer
Finding the accuracy of the model

7. Conclusion

Firstly, we applied both the techniques (Random Forest and simple regression tree
learner) on our dataset without normalization. The accuracy was:
Random Forest: 94.8%
Simple Regression tree learner: 91.4%

After normalization, the accuracy changed to:


Random Forest: 97.4%
Simple Regression tree learner: 95%

Therefore, we need to normalize the data. We can clearly see from the above accuracy
scores that Random Forest is better.
