Use Cases

Model household composition by predicting '¿Cuántos Hombres habitan?' (number of men) or 'Adulto Mayor' (elderly) counts using age/gender columns like 'Infancia de 6 -11 Años Hombre' and 'Juventud de 19 - 26 Años Mujer'.
Identify neighborhoods with high reported 'Problemática de Violencia' (violence issues) or 'Problemática Abusos' (abuse issues) correlated with demographic segments.
Study public internet adoption by classifying '¿Qué Uso le Daba al Servicio de Internet Público Vive Digital?' (internet use purpose) based on household characteristics and '¿Tiene miembros del Hogar Estudiando?' (household members studying).
