# Kaggle Challenge: Predict Future Sales. This dataset aims to publish the files that I will use on the Kaggle challenge called [Predict Future Sales](https://www.kaggle.com/c/competitive-data-science-predict-future-sales) # Data - I have downloaded **test** and **train** data from the [competition webpage](https://www.kaggle.com/c/competitive-data-science-predict-future-sales/data). - I have downloaded **shop** and **item** information data from the English translations of [@deargle](https://www.kaggle.com/deargle) from [this post](https://www.kaggle.com/c/competitive-data-science-predict-future-sales/discussion/54949). Then I have made some changes in the data described in this [R file](https://github.com/kazimanil/predict-future-sales/blob/master/data-manipulation-once-used.R). - I have collected historical **USD/RUB** rates from [Investing.com](https://www.investing.com/currencies/usd-rub-historical-data). I have used the most recent data for the days which does not include a rate info (i.e. Saturdays and Sundays which markets are closed). - I have prepared a calendar depicting public holidays and weekends. Public Holiday info for Russia is collected from [this site](https://www.officeholidays.com/countries/russia/).
