💻 How to Run

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/2100031988/Autism-Spectrum-Disorder-Detection-and-Analysis.git
cd ASD_Detection_Project

Install the required dependencies:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Download the dataset and place it in the data/ folder (if not already included):

• UCI Autism Screening Adult Dataset

Explore the dataset:

Open the exploratory analysis Jupyter notebook:

jupyter notebook notebooks/eda.ipynb

Train and evaluate the model:

Run the train_model.py script to load the data, preprocess it, train the model, and evaluate the results:

python scripts/train_model.py
