Description
Summary:Machine learning algorithms are increasingly often used to predict real estate prices because they generate more accurate results than conventional statistical or geostatistical methods. This study proposes a methodology for incorporating information about the spatial distribution of residuals, estimated by kriging, into selected machine learning algorithms. The analysis was based on apartment prices quoted in the Polish capital of Warsaw. The study demonstrated that machine learning combined with geostatistical methods significantly improves the accuracy of housing price predictions. Local factors that influence housing prices can be directly incorporated into the model with the use of dedicated maps.
