Prediction Of Ticket Cancellation

Introduction to the Problem:

The objective of this exercise is to develop a model that accurately predicts whether users will cancel their tickets. Each cancellation incurs a fine for the ticket registration site from the passenger company. Therefore, it is crucial to identify tickets that are likely to be canceled, enabling effective risk management within the company. By utilizing the available data, we will train a model to accurately detect trip cancellations.

Introduction to the Dataset:

The dataset comprises diverse information about passengers who have registered for a trip through a travel booking website. Below is a description of the columns present in the dataset:

• Created: The timestamp indicating the time of ticket registration.
• CancelTime: The timestamp when the passenger canceled the ticket, if applicable.
• DepartureTime: The scheduled departure time for the trip.
