Abstract

This paper analyzes the application of various machine learning methods in predicting human life expectancy using socio-economic and demographic characteristics. Through data processing from the 'World Health Statistics 2020' dataset, models have been developed using algorithms such as Decision Tree, XGBoost, Random Forest, and neural networks. The paper describes the data preprocessing process, model training, and performance evaluation, with a particular focus on the use of Python libraries such as NumPy, Pandas, TensorFlow, and Scikit-learn for implementing the solutions.
