-# Rice Classification Dataset
+# Rice Classification Model
 
 ## Overview
 
-The Rice Classification Dataset is intended for the classification of different types of rice grains based on their physical and geometric properties. The dataset includes multiple features that describe the shape and size of rice grains, which can be utilized to classify the grains using various machine learning algorithms.
+This repository contains an XGBoost-based model trained to classify rice grains using the `mltrev23/Rice-classification` dataset. The model is designed to predict the type of rice grain based on various geometric and morphological features. XGBoost (eXtreme Gradient Boosting) is a powerful, efficient, and scalable machine learning algorithm that excels at handling structured data.
 
-## Dataset Structure
+## Model Details
 
-The dataset is provided as a single CSV file named `riceClassification.csv`. It contains 18,185 entries, each corresponding to a unique rice grain. The dataset is structured with the following columns:
+### Algorithm
 
-### Columns
+- **XGBoost**: A gradient boosting framework that uses tree-based models. XGBoost is known for its performance and speed, making it a popular choice for structured/tabular data classification tasks.
 
-1. **id**: Unique identifier for each rice grain (integer).
-2. **Area**: The area covered by the rice grain, given as an integer.
-3. **MajorAxisLength**: The length of the major axis of the rice grain (float).
-4. **MinorAxisLength**: The length of the minor axis of the rice grain (float).
-5. **Eccentricity**: Measure of the eccentricity of the rice grain, which describes the deviation of the grain's shape from a perfect circle (float).
-6. **ConvexArea**: The area of the convex hull surrounding the rice grain (integer).
-7. **EquivDiameter**: The diameter of a circle with the same area as the rice grain (float).
-8. **Extent**: The ratio of the area of the rice grain to the area of the bounding box (float).
-9. **Perimeter**: The perimeter of the rice grain (float).
-10. **Roundness**: Measure of how close the shape of the rice grain is to a circle (float).
-11. **AspectRation**: The ratio of the major axis length to the minor axis length (float).
-12. **Class**: The class label indicating the type of rice grain, where 0 represents one class and 1 represents another (binary integer).

+```
+
+### Making Predictions
+
+To make predictions with the model, use the following code:
+
+```python
+import pandas as pd
+
+# Example input data (replace with your actual data)
+data = pd.DataFrame({
+    'Area': [4537, 2872],
+    'MajorAxisLength': [92.23, 74.69],
+    'MinorAxisLength': [64.01, 51.40],
+    'Eccentricity': [0.72, 0.73],

+    'Roundness': [0.76, 0.83],
+    'AspectRation': [1.44, 1.45]
+})
+
+# Convert DataFrame to DMatrix for XGBoost
+dtest = xgb.DMatrix(data)
+
+# Predict class
+predictions = model.predict(dtest)
+```
+
+### Evaluation
+
+You can evaluate the model's performance on a test dataset using standard metrics like accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score:
+
+```python
+from sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score, precision_score, recall_score, f1_score
+
+# Assuming you have ground truth labels and predictions
+y_true = [1, 0]  # Replace with your actual labels
+y_pred = predictions.round()  # XGBoost predictions may need to be rounded
+
+print("Accuracy:", accuracy_score(y_true, y_pred))
+print("Precision:", precision_score(y_true, y_pred))
